Your guide to what's open and closed on Victoria Day - CBC.ca

This Victoria Day may look vastly different for some, like those who usually travel to the United States or vacation to another province for the May long weekend.

Borders are closed because of COVID-19, and attractions and events that would normally be allowed to take place this weekend are either closed or cancelled. 

Dr. Jennifer Russell, New Brunswick's chief medical officer of health, and Premier Blaine Higgs reminded the public on Friday to keep to their respective two-family household bubbles and follow physical distancing guidelines. 

"I want everyone to enjoy this holiday weekend but I want everyone to be safe," Russell said on Friday.

Gatherings of 10 or fewer people outside the two-household bubble are allowed, but people must be outdoors and must remain two-metres apart.
