Statutory holidays in Ontario

The following holidays are observed in additon to the national holidays in Canada: Family Day, (effective 2008), Victoria Day, Civic Holiday (Simcoe Day), Thanksgiving and Boxing Day.

Oddly enough, Remembrance Day is not a statutory holiday in Ontario, making it the most controversial non-stat holiday in the province. Many people think (see the forum) that is should be a statutory holiday all across Canada. Count us in.

Civic Holiday on the first Monday of August is an optional holiday - provincially regulated employers are not required by law to give this day off. It's called Simcoe Day in Ontario.

Below is a list of stat holidays in Ontario and dates when they are observed in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
