Alberta Heritage Day, British Columbia Day, New Brunswick Day, Nova Scotia Natal Day, Saskatchewan Day, Yukon Discovery Day

Are you ready for your summer long weekend? Most provinces in Canada declare the first Monday of August a statutory or civic holiday. Yukon Discovery Day is the only exception which celebrates on the third Monday of August. While Newfoundland & Labrador and Quebec choose to not participate at all.

Who doesn't love getting a day off from work and enjoying a long weekend with family at the height of the summer season? Summer barbeques, fun outdoor games and sports and just good old-fashioned time spent with family and loved ones, that's what the first Monday of August provincial holiday is all about.

If this Summer season continues to be a hot one, you can be sure many Canadians will be spending their First Monday August holiday in the swimming pool, like this guy in Oshawa, Ontario...
