How the date works
Canada Day is fixed on July 1, the anniversary of Confederation in 1867. Only the weekday changes from year to year.
When July 1 falls on a Sunday, the day off is normally taken on Monday, July 2. When it falls on a Saturday, many workplaces still treat Saturday as the holiday, and some provinces and employers give a weekday off, so check your employer or provincial rules.
It is a statutory holiday across Canada, with fireworks and events in most cities.
