What's open on Thanksgiving in Vancouver?

Canadian Thanksgiving, the second Monday of October, closes banks and offices. Supermarkets and grocery stores are busy all weekend and open with reduced hours on the Monday. In Vancouver, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
