About Labour Day
Labour Day is a national statutory holiday in Canada that honors the economic and social contributions of workers. It originated from the labor movement's fight for shorter working hours and improved conditions in the 19th century. Today, it is widely celebrated as the unofficial end of summer, featuring parades, picnics, and community gatherings.
