Manitoba celebrates Terry Fox Day in August

Posted by Steven:

Why is Boxing Day still a STAT day? In this day and age working NY Eve should be the STAT day, without doubt the worst day to work.

Posted by Bob:

Very nice to see many days for workers to have off on stat holidays. Of course being retired myself then every day is a holiday.

As part of Truth and Reconciliation, Aboriginal Day needs to be made a Stat Holiday! Ridiculous!

Nice to have days to look forward to, breaking the monotony, some relief from the day to day labours - never can have too many - nice for family and friends too. Thank you for having this information page, much appreciated :)

I think there’s way too many holiday’s already. You want days off, then book them off, it’s that simple.

Not everyone has a family to go celebrate family day, unless you call your friends, family, but someone is gonna just want to create a "Friends Day" holiday, and that's when I bend over and puke"

I thought this website was only for stat holiday not for every holiday.

All employees want to celebrate Family Day. It is not a holiday for Federally regulated employees. People ask that you have no family. seriously !

We don't need your "truth and reconcilliation" day, because this is all lies and bs. From bureaucrats, to freeloaders. Go to work, all of you.

All Holidays, should be nation wide, The whole Europe celebrates The 26th of December as Saint Simon Day /Second Day of Christmas. The same with Remembrance Day, I agree with some other readers here it should be nationwide holiday and the same goes for TR Day (however our government should have allowed the aboriginal community to choose the day not decided for them). As of right now, Canada is one of the developed countries with the lowest amount of holidays. The only other ones that have less national holidays are China and US.

Posted by More Holidays pls:

the people demand more holidays in general

Posted by Robert:

Remembrance day should be a Canada wide Stat. Pretty sad that it isn't already.

Posted by Oscar:

Even countries like India show consideration for population (1%) and give holidays for Christmas, Good Friday, and for other religions. Canada should give one day for Idd, and one day for Diwali.

Since "National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Day" and "NDTR" don't roll smoothly off the tongue at all, I vote that we use the term "TR Day" instead. "TR Day" is much easier to pronounce and remember. If you can recall "TR Day" you can then easily recall that TR stands for "Truth and Reconciliation". TR Day is September 30th. TR Day is a day for Truth and Reconciliation. Here's to the 2nd TR Day in the history of our nation. TR Day is here to stay. This has nothing to do with your opinion of the holiday, it's just the term you use to refer to it. TR Day TR Day TR Day National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is: TR Day!!

I find "Family Day" in February a pretty innocuous day which has no definable basis for celebration. Since its the correct time of year and Martin Luther King, to my mind supersedes national boundaries, how about redefining Family Day to celebrate accordingly?

Posted by Rando:

For those complaining about Truth & Reconciliation day, & Remembrance day not being statutory nation-wide; maybe stop whining on the internet and go bother your lazy provincial MLA.

Posted by Chuck B:

Both Remembrance Day and Truth and Reconciliation Day should be for all. Absolute disgrace its reserved for Federal employees only

Posted by MM:

Will the new Sep 30 holiday always be on Sep 30 regardless the day it falls on? It's a Friday this year but what about when it's on a weekend?

Posted by (no name):

I see remembrance day is still not a nationwide stat holiday. How sad.
