information at "GoCanada" from the about dot-com website:
Canada Day 2012 is Sunday, July 1st. However, because the holiday falls on a Sunday this year, the stat holiday (the day that employees get a day off with pay) is Monday, July 2, 2012.
Celebrations such as fireworks or parades will still be held on the Canada Day Sunday.
Canada Day Overview
Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st across the country. July 1st marks the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada - that's the technical explanation, but Canada Day also means fireworks and the year's biggest national party. The Canada Day holiday is akin to the U.S. July 4th celebration but on a more Canadian scale.
