All library branches are closed.

Transit

Halifax Transit's buses and ferries will be operating on holiday service, but some new schedule and route changes will take effect Monday.

Waste collection

There will be no waste collection on Monday.

Recreation

Several city recreation facilities will be closed, so residents should call ahead to find out whether they're open. The Oval will be open and will have free public skates throughout the day.

Federal services

The designation of the third Monday in February as a statutory holiday was by provincial legislation and doesn't cover federal government employees, nor federally regulated industries such as telephone companies, railways and airlines.

That means many federal services will still be offered on Monday.

Service Canada offices will be open. Canada Post outlets will be open regular hours and there will be mail delivery.

This year's Heritage Day honours folk artist Maud Lewis. Though Lewis sold her works for as little as $2 and $3 during her life, her paintings have sold for as much as $45,000 since her death in 1970. The biopic Maudie, starring Oscar-nominated actors Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins, sparked renewed interest in Lewis's work.
