      Most provinces and territories observe Civic Holiday on the first Monday in August. In the Northwest Territories, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Nunavut, it is known as Civic Holiday, in Alberta, it is celebrated as Heritage Day, in some parts of Nova Scotia it is known as Natal Day, in Saskatchewan as Saskatchewan Day, in New Brunswick as New Brunswick Day, and in British Columbia as British Columbia Day.

    Does the Gov’t work Friday and Mondays could have fooled me?

    It always seems strange to me that a public recreational facility like the aquatic centre is closed on a public holiday.

      They should have holiday hours. Usually it would be a 4-hour window from 1-5pm. I’m surprised it was listed as closed also.
