Labour Day

Labour Day is a federal statutory holiday observed on the first Monday of September in Canada, honouring the contributions of workers and the labour movement to Canadian society and prosperity. The holiday traces its roots to the labour rights marches of the 1870s, and Canada was among the first countries to officially designate a Labour Day. It also marks the unofficial end of summer and is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

  • Attending Labour Day parades organised by trade unions and labour councils in major cities.
  • Making the most of the final summer long weekend with trips to the lake, cottage, or campsite.
