Canada Day

What day do you have off? I find that it is all over the map this year as to what day people are taking off to celebrate.

We get the 1st off. Which I kind of like...it will split the work week up nicely :)

Re: Canada Day

  • Same for me, I get the 1st off. 
  • I too get the 1st off - but most of my family members had it switched to the Friday (3rd).

    It's nice because you do get a long weekend but then you don't really celebrate Canada Day!?

    I know it's bad-canaidan-spirit but I would have liked the Friday Embarrassed

  • I'm a grad student, we don't get days off...  I think the university is closed on the Wednesday though.

    Have a real long weekend would be nice but I wonder if it would feel weird actually working on the 1st?  I wonder when most cities will do their fireworks?

  • Our fireworks are on the 1st

    I remember many days in the office when the university was officially closed.

    Jealous!!

  • We get the Wednesday too which I wasn't impressed with, so I took the Thurs/Friday to make a 5 day weekend. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty freaking excited about it Party!!!

    On other years when it falls on a Tues or Thurs we typically get the additional day to make it a 4 day weekend which is pretty sweet. Years when it's on a Wednesday are just particularly sucky.  Except for me, and my awesome 5 day weekend. 

  • I have the Wednesday off, DH has Friday the 3rd off... so I'm taking the 3rd off too (woohoo) and we're going camping that weekend.  

  • I'm self-employed so I chose what day I wanted off. I opted for the 1st because it worked better with my schedule.

    The office that I worked with just decided to take the 1st off too, so it works out nicely.

  • Wednesday is a paid vacation day, but technically I won't be off.  I'm travelling back from a conference (crossing the border at Niagara Falls at 6:00pm on Canada Day is not making me feel all warm and fuzzy)...
  • Work is closed Wednesday, and DH has Wednesday off too. My schedule isn't M-F 9-5 (I have today and Friday off, but work Saturday), so it's nice to have a day off with DH but not unusual to have a mid-day week off for me.
