A slowdown in business has prompted the management at Salisbury House on the Esplanade Riel to adopt a new seasonal schedule.

The restaurant will shutdown operations this weekend, with plans to re-open in late March in time for Spring Break.

In the meantime staff at the restaurant will be transferred to other Salisbury House locations.

Salisbury House, which is partly owned by the Guess Who's Burton Cummings, has more than 24 locations in the city, and employs more than 500 people.
