Canadians- what holiday weekend is AUg 1?


Recommended Posts

We are taking our 25th anniversary trip to the Northern Rockies which includes parts of BC and Alberta as well as MT and WY with a tiny bit of ID in the US. A few places that we have called about reservations have said something about a holiday weekend on AUg.1. SInce we don't have a holiday then, what holiday are you all having?

Ah, yes Civic HOliday, otherwise known as "August Long Weekend" or simply "August Long" is a holiday in the great Canadian tradition of having approximately one long weekend (Sat/Sun/Mon) per month.

 

Our province even added a long weekend in February for no other reason than that it was missing one. :D

I'm from Quebec and we never had Civic Holiday. I guess there are a few provinces which don't observe it.

 

:seeya: Nice to "meet" you! What area are you from?

Hey now, that "Family day" in February is very important! :lol:
