Happy provincial holidays

A number of provinces celebrate a holiday on the first Monday in August. The way of the calendar pushed it this year to August 7.

Different provinces and territories have their unique approach. Some don't even have a holiday. Here's the breakdown:

Statutory Holiday
Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan Day)
British Columbia (British Columbia Day)
New Brunswick (New Brunswick Day)
Nunavut (Civic Holiday)
Northwest Territories (Civic Holiday)

Civic Holiday
Ontario (Simcoe Day + others)
Alberta (Heritage Day)
Manitoba (Civic Holiday)
Nova Scotia (Natal Day)
Prince Edward Island (Natal Day)

No Holiday
Newfoundland & Labrador
Quebec
Yukon Territory

I think it's very cool to have a holiday in the middle of the summer, especially since the U.S. celebrates no holidays in August (the one month that needs one). So enjoy your holidays in whatever form they take.
