Walmart Canada is introducing sensory-friendly hours in all of its stores across the country.

The goal is to create a more inclusive shopping experience for everyone and make shopping at the stores accessible to customers who may experience sensory overload by providing a less stimulating environment.

All 403 Walmart stores in Canada will offer sensory-friendly hours from store opening until 10 a.m. every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

In addition, only static, low-sensory images will be used on TV walls.

Netflix has officially started getting rid of its cheapest ad-free plan in Canada.

Earlier this year, the streaming company alerted Canadian users that the Basic plan would be removed.

At that time, Netflix said the process would occur on a rolling basis depending on a person’s billing cycle, with members being notified of dates and deadlines over email or on the service itself.

Now, many users have said they’ve started getting notifications telling them to choose a different plan option in order to continue watching.

Canadian users impacted by the change have the option to subscribe to Netflix’s other three monthly subscription options.
