Wednesday July 1, Canada Day, a public national holiday

June 30, 2015 Yosie Saint-Cyr, LL.B. Managing Editor Employee Relations, Employment/Labour Standards, HR Policies and Procedures, Human Resources, Payroll, Pensions and Benefits, Wages and Compensation

But no worries, after 2015, Canada Day will fall on days that will create a long weekend for the following four years.
