New Holiday : Family Day
Ontario Gets Another Holiday
11 hours ago
TORONTO (AP) — The Canadian province of Ontario is getting a new holiday — Family Day to be observed the third Monday in February.
Premier Dalton McGuinty announced Thursday he was adding a ninth holiday to the province's official list, issuing an executive order to make good on a campaign promise.
"Families are busier than ever," McGuinty said. "That's why we committed to creating a new long weekend in February by introducing a new statutory holiday."
Voters re-elected McGuinty and the Liberals as the majority party in Ontario's legislature on Wednesday night.
Ontario's nine official holidays puts it on a par with the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Most workers are entitled to take the day off with regular pay. Businesses that do open are obligated to pay holiday pay.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses has complained that another paid holiday would cost the economy $2 billion. But McGuinty argued Ontario's economy is now strong enough to withstand it.
