 | | However, the holiday is mentioned in a number of Ontario statutes within the context of giving time off for specific types of employees or of regulating business hours, etc. | | | One of his crowning achievements was to begin the phasing out of slavery in Upper Canada, which officially ended in 1810 – 23 years before it was abolished in the British Empire and 55 years before the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States. | | | I.11, s.29 (1) does not include the August "Civic Holiday" in its designation of official public holidays that apply to everyone; nor do the Retail Business Holidays Act or the Employment Standards Act include it in their definition sections. |

| Â | australia day |
| | Many supporters of the continued use of Australia Day as Australia's national day point out that 26 January commemorates an actual historical event, similar to ANZAC Day, Bastille Day in France, and 4 July in the United States. | | | Each of the alternatives raised also pose problems — ANZAC Day because many war veterans believe that it is their day, also that it is also a New Zealand national holiday, while 1 January is already a public holiday and is in the middle of the Christmas holiday season. | | | Some have suggested making ANZAC Day Australia's national day, or changing to January 1, commemorating 1 January 1901 when Australia's six colonies federated into one nation. |

| Â | A Note to Myself... |
| | I trust that my American friends, acquaintances and lurkers (I have a few inexplicables in the log files) have had an enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday. | | | I doubt I’ve been as busy as my recent dearth of posts would indicate, but there’s been plenty to do, not least of which is get ready for a pending trip to Ontario to see folks including two new nephews, Seb & Nate. | | | Of course, the cost would be higher and I’m not sure mom would be thrilled about it, but dumb as it sounds, high speed is just really, really nice. |

| Â | The True Origin of CHRISTMAS |
| | By 529 A.D., after Christianity had become the official state religion of the Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian made Christmas a civic holiday. | | | The celebration of Christmas reached its peak—some would say its worst moments—in the medieval period when it became a time for conspicuous consumption and unequaled revelry.” | | | Christmas developed, one scholar says, as a means of replacing worship of the sun with worship of the Son. |

| | But in 1968 Toronto City Council again took the lead and renamed the day to recognize one of Ontario's earliest historical figures. | | | But those Ontarians who love to hate Toronto may not want to hear that they have T.O. to thank for the August long weekend. | | | In 1869 Toronto City Council came up with the idea for a summer "day of recreation." In 1875, it was settled: the first Monday in August would be the official Civic Holiday. |
