TORONTO ― Canadian Tire Corp. has announced that in response to the COVID-19 situation, it will reduce operating hours for the Canadian Tire banner and temporarily close its other retail stores. These include Mark’s/L’Équipeur, SportChek, Atmosphere, Party City, Pro Hockey Life, National Sports and PartSource. The closures will be in effect from March 19 until at least April 2, when operations will be reassessed. During the closure period, full and part-time employees will still be paid.
“During these temporary closures, our customers can still shop our Canadian Tire family of companies online,” said CEO and President Greg Hicks in a release. “However, as online orders increase, it may take us longer than usual to ship your items, and we ask for your patience.”
