Saguenay on Thanksgiving?

[QShip]

We will be in Saguenay on Thanksgiving. Is this going to be a problem? Do Canadians close everything down for their Thanksgiving? Are there any local celebrations we could take in?

I will guess that there will be a few things open. It is not as huge a holiday as American Thanksgiving, but it is a holiday.

I was in Saguenay last year on Canadian Thanksgiving. I really did not notice that the holiday had much of an effect at all on local businesses.

 

This is my blog post from that port stop. It was a chilly, but not overly cold, overcast, drippy-rain day, so my pictures are a bit grey. I would apologize for that, but it really wasn't my fault.

Thanks for your response. It is encouraging.

 

I will post it on our Roll Call.

I've also been in Montreal on Canadian Thanksgiving. I really found that the holiday didn't impact a whole lot, especially in areas where tourists will be. In my experience, it's not really like US Thanksgiving Day where most things are closed.
