The upcoming long weekend is a bit screwed. For those of you who are working, whick day are you working? Even though the holiday is Tue, many companies will take Mon off and work Tue. What's yours doing?

AFAIK companies have to take the Tuesday off. The only time the holiday may change is if it lies on a Sunday. But then, what do I know?

I have to work Monday but since I'll be at the Guv Monday night/Tuesday morning, and then BeatsAhoy Tuesday afternoon, I've also taken Wednesday off.

I want to go to Guv also, but if we're working Tue, them I'm up shits creek!

Correct, the statutory holiday is Tuesday July 1st.

If you get the Monday off then your company is being very generous, or just letting everyone use a vacation day/sick/ etc.


Monday is a business day as always ie. all government offices are open, all business are open, all trading is open (Ex. TSX), etc.

well if you come with a bunch of people and split up the driving, its not thattt far

Come to think of it, this holiday is sucky 'cause Guv went and made the event Mon night. I see MOST ppl's companies are probably going to take Mon off and work on Tue... including mine. We all can't just take Tue off to go clubbing. I'm going to have to convince the company I work for to take BOTH days off to fix my dilemma.

I'm on a mission... must focus!

um..i'd double check about that...

Most people don't have a choice on the matter. They have to give their employees Tuesday off since it is a STATUTORY holiday.

I'm pretty sure most people are working on the Monday and have the Tuesday off...

There is only one case where an individual will get the following day off and that is if Canada Day is on a Sunday:
* The Holidays Act provides that July 2 is Canada Day when July 1 is a Sunday.

In Ontario and New Brunswick, only persons employed in a hospital, a continuous operation, a hotel, motel, tourist resort, restaurant or tavern may be required by their employer to work on a public holiday that falls on one of their regular working day. Moreover, employees in Ontario who work in retail business establishments, with some exceptions, have the express right to refuse to work on a public holiday, even if they had earlier agreed to do so provided that they give sufficient notice to their employer.

I like a big crowd too.. what I don't like is a shoulder to shoulder crowd where it's impossible to move anywhere or even have enough space to dance (pvd @ freedom is a good example.. what a write off)

I don't get either, because my work falls in that stupid continuous operation bullshit where you can be required to work at stat holiday. So I took the 30th, 1st and 2nd off... I initially planned to go up Monday late, hit up Guvy then Boat Cruise on Tuesday, afterparty, spend the night recovery Tuesday and head back on Wed... But since the Guv party looks alot better now with the hipster Drink lineup, and since I was too late and shit out of luck for tickets for the boat cruise I think I may revoke my days off and just head have Tuesday off and save the vaca days for the Erol Alkan park party in Aug.


So long story short, they make me work whenever like thier slave, and currently I have 30th,1st and 2nd booked off as vaca in case...


Anyone got some Boat Cruise tickets they want to sell?!

Posted by She_Fitz on Jun-11-2008 02:02:

I'm taking BOTH.

FOUR DAY LONG WEEKEND!



But as Jeff said, TUESDAY is the actual statutory holiday!

I would imagine most individuals at business are thus receiving the Tuesday off.

If they also receive the Monday off, then "congratulations!" you work for a wonderful company!

Monday = Work
Tuesday = Holiday

It's not rocket science. It's not a long weekend so get that thought out of your head.

That's it right there!

Tuesday is a holiday; however, it is not a long weekend.
