The goal of Civic Holiday, which falls on August 1 this year, is to help residents develop a sense of community. What is the first Monday in August recognised as a public holiday in Canada? Well, that depends entirely on your location. Technically speaking, it is not what Canadians refer to as a “statutory” holiday, and various regions of the nation observe it in various ways. For instance, Lieutenant Colonel John By, who oversaw the construction of Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, is remembered in Ottawa with Colonel By Day. While it is Simcoe Day in Toronto, New Brunswick calls it New Brunswick Day. The first Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada was John Graves Simcoe. Some cities and provinces don’t observe any holidays at all.
Perhaps you’re wondering why it’s called a civic holiday. Since this day is not a federally mandated national holiday in Canada, the word “civic” refers to local governments.
In Canada, the first Monday in August is a holiday. Did you know that the primary purpose of this annual observance is to honour John Graves Simcoe? For the majority of people, it is simply an additional day off from work, which is a good enough reason to celebrate. He served as Upper Canada’s first lieutenant governor, which is now Ontario. Additionally, he built Fort York, a landmark that served as the foundation for contemporary Toronto.
Civic Holiday is observed on the first Monday in August in the majority of provinces and territories. It is known as a civic holiday in the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Nunavut; as Heritage Day in Alberta; as Natal Day in some parts of Nova Scotia; as Saskatchewan Day in Saskatchewan; as New Brunswick Day in New Brunswick; and as British Columbia Day in British Columbia.
The earliest records of Civic Holidays in Canada come from the mid-1850s to early 1860s, when some Upper Canadian cities—including London in 1856, Toronto in 1861, and Hamilton in 1862—began to observe an August public holiday. The mayor announced these holidays, which changed every year.
People enjoyed picnics throughout the day as local shops and businesses were closed. The concept quickly caught on, and in 1874 Winnipeg also celebrated its first holiday. In the end, the first Monday in August became a civic holiday.
On this day, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and British Columbia all celebrate their provincial birthdays. Although it is not a legal holiday in Ontario, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, or Alberta, businesses, institutions, and the government typically observe the mid-summer break. On Civic Holidays, some communities in Ontario honour significant historical figures. Today, Alberta also honours cultural diversity.
