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.
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.
If you live in or near Toronto be sure to visit High
Park on a weekend or
during your holidays, it's a truly beautiful park in the heart of Toronto.
