Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September.  It is a statutory holiday throughout Canada.
The Canadian labour movement can justly claim the title of originator of Labour Day.  Peter J. McGuire, one of the founders of the American Federation of Labour has traditionally been known as the 'Father of Labour Day'.  Historical evidence indicates that McGuire obtained his idea for the establishment of an annual demonstration and public holiday from the Canadian trade unionist.
