	National Holidays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Statutory holidays are established by Act of Parliament and are observed, without fail, by federal employees and by most Canadians, although increasingly, statutory holidays are becoming days for shopping and for large sales.
		The statutory holiday began in 1879, almost certainly as an imitation of the American celebration, but earlier in the year as a recognition of the shorter growing season in Canada.
		Civic Holiday, variously called Heritage Day in Alberta and Saskatchewan and Simcoe Day in Ontario, is also celebrated in Manitoba and the NWT and gives a long weekend at the beginning of August.

		Holidays are characterized by a partial or total cessation of work and normal business activities and are generally accompanied by public and private ceremonies, including feasting (or fasting), parades and carnivals, or displays of flags and speechmaking.
		Originally, in ancient times, holidays were predominantly religious in character and linked to natural events such as the annual course of the sun or the phases of the moon.

		Statutory holidays can be postponed in most jurisdictions when they fall on a non-working day, to be taken the next working day, as an addition to an employee’s vacation or at a time agreed upon by the employee and employer.
		The scheduling of the holiday is often at the mutual agreement of the employee and the employer.
		Employees working during the general holiday, when it is their normal work day, must be paid an amount equal to 1.5 times their wage rate for each hour worked in addition to their regular wages, or be offered a paid day off to be taken at a later time.

		The reigning Canadian Monarch has been in Canada for their official birthday twice: the first time being on 20 May, 1939, when King George VI was on a coast-to-coast tour of Canada and his official birthday was celebrated with a Trooping the Colour ceremony on Parliament Hill.
		Several Canadian cities hold a parade in honour of the holiday, with the most famous being in the monarch's namesake city of Victoria, BC.
		This phrase has two meanings: the holiday always falls on the Monday of or before the birthday of Queen Victoria on the 24th of May, and a two-four is Canadian slang for a case of 24 bottles of beer, the most common packaging of Canadian beer.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles / Reviving the Radical Critique of Religion (David Noble)
		True, no classes are held on the Christian holiday of Good Friday, but that is because it is a statutory holiday, not merely a university observance.
		In the fall of 2004, I started challenging this practice on the grounds that it is illegal and discriminatory, and wrote to York president Lorna Marsden requesting that she bring the university practice into compliance with the statute.
		The challenge is two-fold and paradoxical: we need to insist upon the divorce of the state from religion, and we need at the same time to keep faith visible (and thus vulnerable) to a renewed critique of its alleged supernatural authority.
