All day: LABOUR DAYAll day: LABOUR DAY All day ![]() The first Monday in September has been an official holiday in Canada since 1894, and in the United States since 1892. But the origin of Labour Day came 20 years before that, when unions started holding parades and rallies in Toronto and Ottawa to celebrate the successful 1872 Toronto printers’ strike – the original “fight for fairness” that won major changes including the decriminalization of unions in Canada. Today, Labour Day marks the unofficial end to summer and the start of a new school year for children in Canada and the United States. It is a day of rest and, for unions and labour activists, a day to celebrate the accomplishments of the labour movement and the benefits of having a union at work. But, as is the case with most holidays, the origins of Labour Day come from the struggles of working people and the demand for fairness. In this case, it was the movement to establish a 9-hour work day (the standard was a 12-hour work day and a 6-day work week) and a strike by printers in Toronto in the spring of 1872 to get it. |

All day: Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony in OttawaAll day: Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony in Ottawa All day ![]()
Once again we will meet on Parliament Hill to honour our fallen comrades, and to ensure that the magnitude of their sacrifice will never be forgotten. We will continue the focus of the Memorial on the unsung heroes, the surviving families of those brave men and women who died in the line of duty. In 1998 the Canadian Government officially proclaimed the last Sunday of September of every year as Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. On January 17, 2003 Canadian Heritage declared the last Sunday of September of every year as a nation wide flag half-masting on all federal buildings and establishments in Canada, including the Peace Tower, from sunrise to sunset in honour of our fallen officers. These official proclamations are a fitting sign of respect, not only to those gathered on the hill, but also for those who made the ultimate tragic sacrifice to keep our communities safe and our environment protected. The Parade Orders can be viewed at www.thememorial.ca under the tab SERVICE. The parade will march rain or shine to Center Block for the 11:00 am start of the Memorial Service. Form up will remain at Wellington and Kent Streets in assigned columns. CLICK THE FOLLOWING TO ACCESS:History of the Memorial ServicePoster of the 2020 Memorial Service |
