AD Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 In most of Canada, Family Day is a statutory holiday occurring on the third Monday in February. This corresponds with Presidents Day in the United States. In the provinces of Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, the statutory holiday on this date is instead termed Louis Riel Day and Islander Day, respectively.The third Monday in February is a regular working day in British Columbia, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the territories. As Family Day is not currently recognized in the federal sphere, federal employees in all provinces (such as public servants and postal workers) still work on this day (or take a vacation day). In Newfoundland and Labrador, the third Monday of February is a school board holiday, but not an official provincial holiday.I'm supposed to work Monday, but might go to Tremblant instead. Depends if it snows like it's supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 ahem...so google would have sent you herewhat have I learned?In PEI, it's called "Islander Day"In Manitoba, it's called "Louis Real Day".The TSE shuts down for the day.This day coincides with President's Day in the US. It doesn't sound like much of a day to get anything done if one has clients to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
