Those who need to do business with the Municipality of Anchorage on Monday are out of luck. Monday has been designated Indigenous People’s Day by Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson and the Anchorage Assembly.
On Feb. 21, 2023, the mayor made it official after an unanimous vote by the Assembly.
In addition to closure at City Hall, the Anchorage Public Libraries, the Permit Center at 4700 Elmore Road, Anchorage Health Department, AWWU’s customer service, and APD’s front counter are all closed.
Emergency services like police and fire will continue as normal. Public transportation via PeopleMover, AnchorRIDES, and RideShare will also remain open. And people can still take their trash to the Central Transfer Station and Anchorage Landfill. Animal Care and Control will also continue operations. This is a paid holiday for all city workers, and those who have to work it will be awarded holiday pay.
