Labour Day 2020
In 2020 Labour Day is Monday September 7.
Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September and it is a federal statutory holiday. It is also observed in the United States on the same day.
This holiday officially celebrates workers and the labour union movement, however, most of us only think of it as the last long weekend of the summer, a perfect occasion for one last BBQ or canoe trip.
Many seasonal attractions and vendors close after the labour day long weekend and it is generally the start of the fall shoulder season for tourist attractions.
Labour Day Long Weekend
It's a very straightforward holiday, unlike other holidays when some people are off and some aren't, on Labour Day all stores are closed including retail stores, banks and libraries across the country. Some restaurants and convenience stores may be open.
The Tuesday day after labour day marks the first day of school.
Note: In the Commonwealth Countries it is spelled "labour", in the United States is spelled "labor".

What does “fall shoulder season” mean?

No plans, just was not aware that Canada and the US are so similar with labour day

I don’t take any issue with this write up. It’s not a commentary on unions, calm yourself - you must be a long time, entitled union member that had nothing to do with earning the rights and protections afforded to you by your union.

Unions, the down fall of this country. The cause of more poverty and higher prices of everything needed to live a decent life.

It truly is a Labour Day ! One labours thru the long lines at busy airports, missed flights, endless security searches & screaming, lost children only to be delayed st final boarding by being overbooked onto your flight !
