Depends who operares them, are there any non Christian owners of such business.

Maybe local by laws come into play.

Sorry no definite answer. but my guess is yes.

Mind I'm the one who drove the Stewart Cassiar on a Sun back in about 77 and nothing was open.

I know plenty of non-Christians that celebrate New Years. :wink:

Highway stations are normally open. In-town stations are a little more hit and miss.

Since when did New Years' become a traditional Christian holiday? Should've answered in a few hours, you could've got the first-dumb-post-of-2008 award. :P

Gas station openings are purely market driven. There are a few local bylaws, such as Richmond, B.C., where no self serve stations are permitted. I'm not aware of any town that forces openings. If you are staying on the Trans-Canada you should have no problems finding fuel. Just start looking when your fuel tank is down to half full and don't be too choosey about price.

Have a good trip.
