I just want to say how glad I am that I live in a province that still observes Boxing Day as actual retail closing day. Retail workers get two, if not 2 1/2, whole days off from dealing with frantic shoppers. After the stress leading up to Christmas an actual day to relax. They deserve it.

ok but what if, say, the city published a list of centres and their hours instead of having thousands of people have to phone places individually

"Ancient Music" by Ezra Pound
Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damn you, sing: Goddamm.
