Happy Friday!

Good Friday is a Christian event commemorating Jesus' execution and death at Calvary. It is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday, which is March 29, 2024.

Victoria's Birthday

On May 20, 2024, Canada celebrates Victoria Day, a federal public holiday. Most provinces and territories in Canada observe the holiday as a public holiday. Many people start gardening after the holiday because it is considered the end of the wind.

Canada's Birthday

The holiday commemorates the anniversary of the Constitution Act's effective date in 1867, which united the three distinct provinces of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion known as Canada. The holiday will be observed on July 1, 2024.

Monday is Labor Day

Labour Day is celebrated on September 2, 2024, and it honors the accomplishments of workers. The holiday stems from the eight-hour day movement, which calls for eight hours of work, eight hours of amusement, and eight hours of repose.

National Day of Reconciliation and Truth

In Canada, the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation is a federal holiday. The festival commemorates the children who perished in the residential schools, as well as the survivors and families touched by the institution. The holiday will be observed on September 30, 2024.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day, commemorated on October 14, 2024, commemorates the successful harvest and all of the previous year's blessings. Traditional foods such as roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie are served to families and friends. Many families will have turkey leftovers for several days.

Day of Remembrance

Remembrance Day is a day set aside to remember those who fought for Canada in World Wars I, II, and Korea, as well as those who have served since then. Many people wear poppies to honor those who have served in the military. The holiday is observed on November 11, 2024.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Day, December 25, 2024, honors the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Christmas is a holiday of giving. Christmas gifts and cards are exchanged with family and friends.

Christmas Day

Boxing Day, also known as St. Stephen's Day, is a shopping holiday in various countries. It will occur on December 26, 2024.
