Provincial Government Offices to be Closed December 24



Provincial government offices will be closed Monday, Dec. 24 to allow employees extended time with their families over the holiday season.

Essential services will remain available and provincial government offices will open as usual on Thursday, Dec. 27.  

It is expected some energy savings will be realized by allowing offices to remain closed over a five-day period.

The last time Dec. 24 fell on a Monday was in 2012.  It was handled in the same way at that time with an agreement between government and employees, through their bargaining representatives.
