British Columbia Day Long Weekend
This Monday, August 6th is a Civic Holiday! The Civic Holiday is celebrated on the first Monday of August and it’s a public holiday in some provinces and territories. The Civic Holiday is known by many names in different provinces and municipalities, but is most common known as the August Long Weekend. Here in BC, we refer to the day off as “British Columbia Day”.
