Default Canada's Civic Holiday

The first Monday in August is holiday in most of the Provinces and Territories. Its name changes from province to province, and even amongst different regions within a province. On calendars, it is generally labeled as “Civic Holiday” as not to be region specific.Iit is a much needed long weekend to augment the short Canadian summers. Read on to find out what it is called in your part of the country and some history around its origin.

British Columbia Day is a civic holiday intended for all residents and workers to relax and enjoy the beauty and culture offered within this most spectacular province. It might be shared with family or friends or privately in solitude, but it should be a reflection of the gift of natural wonder that the province has been blessed with. (LOVE THAT!)
