Businesses pay respects in town on Remembrance Day

In Hamiota most shops stay closed to honor veterans despite Manitoba's Remembrance Day Act allowing modest opening hours. Banks and credit unions remain shut, few outlets operate, and Perry Longmuir says the hotel restaurant stays closed while the bar opens at the permitted time. TJ's Convenience Store opens for a portion of the day.
