Civic Holiday -
The official name in Ontario is Simcoe Day
No Meeting
Civic Holiday [first Monday of August] is not statutory holiday but is observed as a municipal holiday known as Simcoe Day in Toronto, Mountie Day in North York, Colonel By Day in Ottawa, Joseph Brant Day in Burlington, Founders' Day in Brantford, McLaughlin Day in Oshawa, Alexander Mackenzie Day in Sarnia, James Cockburn Day in Cobourg, Peter Robinson Day in Peterborough, and John Galt Day in Guelph, as well as numerous other names in smaller municipalities.. Although the first Monday in August is not an official Canadian holiday, it is recognized as a holiday in Canada in all provinces except Québec, Newfoundland and the Yukon. Every other province and territory has their own name for it, depending on heritage and the political will at the time the holiday was created.
Canadian ceremonies and holidays such as Boxing Day and the August Civic Holiday (a "bank holiday") are derived from our British roots.
This national holiday is similar to Heritage Day. It gives everyone a break from work.
