··Never Used A KodakIt’s not Coast to Coast Mike. Depends on each Province.
Quebec, for example has it on June 24th. Big party known as “La St. Jean” (Baptiste).
But without doing an on-line search I suspect that most Provinces have it on the first Monday in August (today).
Everybody hates Monday. So this is a good arrangement.
I still went into my shop… worked on a belt.

··Never Used A KodakIn mid February (in Ontario) we have family day. I was the patrol sergeant when we had our first ever family day (circa 2008).
We had a pile of family disputes. Really. Keeping all the families together when it’s too cold to go outside = fighting. 😁

·As Archer wrote, it’s BC Day here on the coast and I get to spend at least part of it stuck in an Air Canada jet that was due to leave 2.5 hours ago (waiting on a replacement part, apparently. Glad it’s getting looked at).
They’re kind enough to provide water and after 2 hours hey look! a stale mini granola bar. Yay Air Canada hospitality! Better safe, of course, but not what I envisioned when the alarm went off at 5am.
