Labour Day is a public statutory holiday throughout Canada, observed on the first Monday in September. It honours the historic struggles and achievements of working people, tracking back to the 1872 Toronto printers' strike that helped legalize unions in Canada. Officially as a national holiday since 1894, Labour Day has become a day of rest, reflection and celebration of the labour movement. Across Canada, it's marked by parades, picnics and advocacy for workers' rights - keeping the spirit of fairness and solidarity.
