| | Holidays in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some Canadians believe that the country does not have enough holidays (in comparison to the United States and the United Kingdom, and although these nations have about the same number of nationally recognized holidays, they generally receive more days off work and school). | | | By law, a civic holiday is defined as any holiday which is legally recognized but where the employer is not obliged to offer holiday pay. | | | Two provinces and one territory do not recognize it at all, and five other provinces do not oblige employers to offer holiday pay on this day, thus making it a civic holiday in the legal sense. |
