An athletic and determined young man\, Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) in 1977\, leading to the amputation of his right leg above the knee. \nInspired to make a difference\, Terry embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise funds for cancer research. His Marathon of Hope began on April 12\, 1980\, in St. John's\, Newfoundland\, with the goal of running a marathon (42 kilometers or 26 miles) every day. \nTerry ran over 5\,373 kilometers (3\,339 miles) in 143 days\, capturing the hearts of Canadians with his perseverance and selflessness. On September 1\, 1980\, Terry was forced to halt his journey in Thunder Bay\, Ontario\, when cancer spread to his lungs. \nTerry Fox passed away on June 28\, 1981\, at the age of 22. By this time\, he had raised over $24 million for cancer research\, equivalent to one dollar for every Canadian at the time. \nIn 2015\, the Government of Manitoba declared the first Monday in August as Terry Fox Day\, aligning with the province's civic holiday. \nWhile not a federally recognized holiday\, Terry Fox's contributions are celebrated across Canada\, particularly through the Terry Fox Run\, held annually in September. The run was first organized in 1981 and has since become one of the largest fundraising events for cancer research globally. \nEstablished in 1988\, the foundation continues Terry's dream of eradicating cancer. As of 2024\, it has raised over $850 million for cancer research. \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn Terry Fox Day\, Canadians participate in various activities and events that celebrate his contributions to cancer research and awareness. People across Canada and the world engage in acts of remembrance\, fundraising\, and education throughout the year. \nOrganized annually in September\, the Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive event where participants walk\, run\, or bike to raise funds for cancer research. Runs are held worldwide in over 60 countries\, with millions of participants contributing to Terry's mission. \nIndividuals\, schools\, and communities raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation\, which supports cancer research. Many people contribute directly to the foundation or organize fundraising events such as bake sales\, charity walks\, or auctions. \nSchools across Canada organize assemblies\, events\, and classroom activities to teach students about Terry Fox's life\, values\, and accomplishments. \nMany Canadians reflect on Terry's courage and determination by reading about the Marathon of Hope or visiting memorials dedicated to him. \nCommunities host events such as speeches\, commemorative walks\, and vigils in honor of Terry Fox. Artists and musicians may create works inspired by Terry's journey\, which are displayed or performed during local events. \nMany cities have statues or plaques commemorating Terry Fox\, which serve as gathering spots for reflection and remembrance. Terry Fox Day highlights the ongoing need for cancer research and the power of collective action.

Though it is not a statutory holiday\, it is widely recognized as an opportunity for Albertans to honor the contributions of Indigenous peoples\, early settlers\, and immigrant communities. \nHeritage Day was officially established by the Government of Alberta in 1974 as a way to celebrate the province's multiculturalism and history. The goal was to encourage Albertans to learn about their shared heritage and the diverse cultures that contribute to the province's identity. \nHeritage Day was introduced during a period when Canada was increasingly recognizing its multicultural identity. The Canadian Multiculturalism Policy of 1971\, the first of its kind in the world\, likely influenced Alberta's decision to create a holiday celebrating diversity. \nAlberta is home to Indigenous peoples\, early European settlers\, and waves of immigrants from around the world. Heritage Day was intended to highlight the unique traditions\, languages\, and histories of these diverse communities\, also to promote the preservation of Alberta's historical landmarks\, artifacts\, and oral histories for future generations. \nSince its creation in 1974\, Heritage Day has become a vibrant occasion that unites Albertans in honoring their past and embracing their shared identity. \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn Heritage Day in Alberta\, people participate in activities that highlight the province's rich cultural diversity and history. Many Albertans treat it as an opportunity to celebrate their heritage and enjoy the long weekend. \nEdmonton Heritage Festival is one of the largest multicultural festivals in Canada\, featuring over 60 pavilions representing different cultures\, and many people will attend Cultural Festivals. Smaller communities host their own festivals\, highlighting the unique heritage of Indigenous peoples\, settlers\, and immigrant groups. \nMany museums host special exhibits or programs focused on Alberta's cultural diversity and historical milestones. \nParks\, community centers\, and cultural organizations host picnics\, storytelling sessions\, and games that reflect Alberta's heritage\, while many Albertans use the long weekend to explore the province's stunning landscapes. \nSchools\, libraries\, and cultural centers may offer resources and programs to learn about Indigenous history and contributions. \nPeople enjoy traditional foods from different cultures\, supporting local vendors and businesses.

Different provinces adopted the first Monday in August as a general holiday\, although each province tailored it to their local identity and history. \nBy the mid-20th century\, provinces began renaming and dedicating the holiday to celebrate their distinct heritage. \nNew Brunswick Day was officially declared a provincial holiday in 1976 by the New Brunswick government. It was designed as a day to celebrate the province's culture\, history and natural beauty. The holiday was part of a broader effort to strengthen local pride and provide a dedicated time for communities to come together during the summer. \nIn recent years\, New Brunswick Day celebrations increasingly include acknowledgment of Indigenous peoples\, their culture and contributions to the province. \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn New Brunswick Day\, people come together to celebrate the province's culture\, heritage\, and natural beauty. The holiday offers a chance to enjoy the summer and participate in various events and activities. \nTowns and cities across New Brunswick organize local parades\, live music\, and festivals showcasing the province's culture. \nMany events feature Acadian music\, dance\, and art\, along with displays of Indigenous culture and history. \nResidents and tourists enjoy the province's scenic beauty by visiting beaches\, hiking trails or national and provincial parks like Fundy National Park. For those near waterways\, boating\, canoeing\, and fishing are common activities. \nMany communities end the day with a fireworks display\, creating a festive and celebratory atmosphere. \nPeople visit local museums and landmarks to learn about New Brunswick's history\, including its Acadian and Indigenous roots. However\, many may use the long weekend to relax at home\, enjoy quiet time with family\, or explore nearby attractions. \nThe History of New Brunswick\nNew Brunswick is one of Canada's eastern provinces\, and it has a rich history shaped by Indigenous peoples\, European settlers and its geographic location. \nThe region has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. They lived in harmony with the land\, relying on fishing\, hunting\, and gathering for sustenance and maintaining complex cultural traditions. \nFrench explorers arrived in the early 17th century\, and established settlements in the area\, which became part of the French colony of Acadia. \nFrench settlers\, known as Acadians\, established thriving agricultural communities along the fertile river valleys. They developed unique cultural practices that continue to influence the province today. \nIn 1713\, the Treaty of Utrecht ceded Acadia to Britain and the British deported many Acadians\, but some returned or resettled in the region. \nDuring and after the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783\, thousands of colonists loyal to Britain fled to New Brunswick\, dramatically altering its demographic and cultural makeup. \nIn 1784\, New Brunswick was separated from Nova Scotia and became its own colony. \nThe timber and shipbuilding industries flourished in the 19th century. The construction of railroads further boosted economic development and connected New Brunswick to other parts of Canada. Immigration from Scotland\, Ireland\, and other parts of Europe added to the province's cultural mosaic. \nNew Brunswick was one of the original four provinces to join Confederation\, helping to form the Dominion of Canada. \nIn the 20th century\, New Brunswick embraced its bilingual nature\, being Canada's only officially bilingual province. The Acadian culture remains a vital part of the province's identity.

Known for its vast wilderness\, stunning natural beauty\, and rich Indigenous culture\, the NWT is a unique and vital part of Canada's geography and heritage. \nThe Northwest Territories is bordered by Yukon to the west\, Nunavut to the east\, and British Columbia\, Alberta\, and Saskatchewan to the south\, and it includes part of the Arctic Archipelago in the north. The population is approximately 45\,000 people. \nThe capital is Yellowknife\, located on the shores of Great Slave Lake. \nThe Northwest Territories has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Early European exploration began in the late 18th century with fur traders and explorers. \nThe Northwest Territories was established in 1870.

Although it doesn't commemorate a specific historical event\, the holiday is an opportunity for relaxation and community engagement. \nMany towns and cities host community festivals and parades that highlight local culture and history. Events often feature traditional music and dance\, reflecting Saskatchewan's diverse communities\, including Indigenous\, Métis\, and European settler traditions. \nResidents take advantage of the summer weather to visit national and provincial parks. Some families and friends enjoy hiking trails\, camping trips\, and picnics in the province's scenic landscapes. \nFamilies may visit museums\, cultural centers or historical landmarks. For some\, Saskatchewan Day is a chance to relax at home\, unwind\, and recharge. \nMore about Saskatchewan\nSaskatchewan's history is rich and diverse\, shaped by its Indigenous peoples\, European settlers and the development of agriculture\, industry and transportation. As a province in the heart of Canada's prairies\, it has played a pivotal role in the country's history. \nSaskatchewan has been home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. These communities thrived on the land\, hunting bison\, gathering resources and establishing trade networks. \nIndigenous peoples developed rich oral traditions and spiritual practices tied closely to the land and its resources. The Métis emerged as a distinct cultural group in the 19th century\, blending Indigenous and European traditions. \nThe Numbered Treaties signed between 1871 and 1877 marked agreements between Indigenous nations and the Canadian government\, resulting in land cessions for European settlement. However\, these treaties have often been a source of contention due to broken promises and unequal outcomes. \nEuropean interest in Saskatchewan began in the 17th and 18th centuries with the fur trade. The Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company established trading posts\, and fostered trade between Indigenous peoples and Europeans. \nIn the late 19th century\, the government encouraged settlement through the Dominion Lands Act (1872)\, offering land to immigrants willing to farm the prairies. Immigrants from Eastern Canada\, the United States\, Europe\, and other parts of the world flocked to Saskatchewan\, transforming it into a major agricultural region. \nSaskatchewan was initially part of the Northwest Territories\, governed as a large and sparsely populated region. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s facilitated settlement and economic growth. \nSaskatchewan officially became a province on September 1\, 1905\, alongside Alberta. Regina was named the provincial capital. The province was named after the Saskatchewan River\, which derives from the Cree word "kisiskâciwan"\, meaning "swift-flowing river".

It has evolved from its original purpose as a day of rest for workers into a cultural and recreational highlight of the year. \nThe Bank Holidays Act of 1871 established official public holidays in the UK. Four initial bank holidays were introduced\, including the first Monday in August\, designated as the Summer Bank Holiday across the UK. \nThe August bank holiday aligned with Scotland's agricultural calendar\, marking a period when farming activities slowed after the summer harvest. It allowed workers\, particularly those in rural areas\, to enjoy a much-needed rest or participate in local fairs and markets. \nIn 1971\, as part of a broader reorganization of bank holiday dates in England\, Wales\, and Northern Ireland\, the Summer Bank Holiday was moved to the last Monday in August for those regions. However\, Scotland retained the original first Monday in August date\, reflecting different cultural and seasonal practices. \nBy the late 20th century\, the Summer Bank Holiday in Scotland became less associated with rural activities and more with leisure and tourism. It also served as an opportunity for family gatherings\, outdoor events\, and community festivals. \nToday\, the Summer Bank Holiday in Scotland continues to be celebrated on the first Monday of August. Scotland's retention of the original date for the Summer Bank Holiday highlights its distinct cultural and historical traditions. \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nThe Summer Bank Holiday is a time for relaxation\, leisure\, and community events. People across the country take advantage of the long weekend to engage in various activities. \nMany people use the bank holiday as an opportunity for a long weekend getaway to visits to the Highlands and islands to enjoy Scotland's stunning natural scenery\, or to explore historic sites and castles. \nFamilies and friends often camp in national parks and public parks\, and green spaces are filled with families enjoying meals outdoors. Others often spend the day together\, enjoying simple pleasures like board games and movie nights at home.

Picnic Day was originally a holiday for railway workers who helped build the North Australian Railway. Workers would take a break from their hard labor and enjoy a day of leisure with their families. \nHowever\, some believe that early settlers in Darwin and other northern towns would take the train to Adelaide River for a day of picnicking and recreation. This gathering became a yearly tradition\, leading to the eventual declaration of an official holiday. \nThere are also other beliefs about the origin of the holiday. By the early 20th century\, Picnic Day was recognized as an official public holiday in the Northern Territory. \nUnlike other Australian public holidays with deep historical or cultural significance\, Picnic Day has no political or religious meaning\, and it simply promotes relaxation and outdoor fun. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nPicnic Day in Northern Territory is simply a day for relaxation and outdoor activities. \nSince the Northern Territory has stunning landscapes and warm weather\, many people use Picnic Day to enjoy the great outdoors. Families and friends gather in parks and riversides to enjoy picnics and barbecues. \nMany Northern Territory residents take advantage of the long weekend to go camping. In the meanwhile\, fishing is a favorite pastime\, especially in Darwin\, Daly River\, and Arnhem Land. \nThe most famous event on Picnic Day is the Harts Range Races\, a three-day outback horse racing festival held east of Alice Springs. The Harts Range Races have been a Picnic Day tradition since the 1940s\, originally started by cattle station workers. \nPicnic Day is one of the most flexible and relaxing holidays in Australia\, and it's a day to unwind and enjoy time with loved ones. \nMore about Northern Territory\nThe Northern Territory (NT) is a vast and unique region of Australia\, known for its stunning landscapes and rich Aboriginal heritage. \nThe Northern Territory is in northern-central Australia\, bordered by Western Australia\, South Australia\, and Queensland. Darwin is its capital\, also the largest city. \nIt is home to some of the oldest living cultures in the world\, and Aboriginal Australians have lived in the NT for at least 60\,000 years. Aboriginal communities thrived in different environments\, from coastal fishing societies in the north to desert hunters in the central Northern Territory. \nDutch explorers were the first Europeans to map parts of the NT coast in the 1600s. Macassan traders from Indonesia regularly visited Arnhem Land from the 1700s\, trading sea cucumbers with Aboriginal people. \nThe British made several unsuccessful attempts to establish settlements in the Northern Territory from 1824 to 1870s due to the harsh climate and the conflict with Indigenous peoples. \nIn 1862\, John McDouall Stuart became the first European to successfully cross from Adelaide to Darwin\, opening up the Overland Telegraph route. Camels were introduced to explore the Red Centre\, leading to the rise of Afghan cameleers in Northern Territory history. \nIn 1872\, the overland telegraph line connected Darwin to Adelaide\, allowing faster communication between Australia and Britain\, which brought more settlers to the region. \nIn the 1870s-1900s\, gold were discovered in Pine Creek\, Tennant Creek and Arnhem Land and that led to gold rushes. \nThe Northern Territory was originally governed by South Australia\, but it was transferred to the Australian Commonwealth in 1911. \nDuring World War II\, the Northern Territory became a major military base\, playing a key role in defending Australia. It was used as a launch base for Australian and American forces fighting in the Pacific. \nIn 1950s-1970s\, the Northern Territory remained under federal control but saw increased development\, and Darwin grew into a major city with new roads and buildings during this time. \nIn 1978\, the Northern Territory gained self-government\, meaning it could make its own laws. \nToday\, the Northern Territory is home to 250\,000 people\, and plays a key role in tourism\, mining and renewable energy.

Traditionally\, children are raised collectively by the extended family and community\, and they are taught to respect elders\, contribute to the household\, and participate in cultural practices from a young age. \nA national day to celebrate children aligns with the values of communal care\, education and responsibility. \nTuvalu is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)\, ratified in 1995. The creation of National Children's Day also reflects Tuvalu's alignment with global efforts to promote child welfare and development\, and access to education and healthcare. \nMany other countries in the Pacific and around the world also observe national children's days\, often inspired by UN World Children's Day (November 20)\, but tailored to local cultures and calendars. \nThe date was likely chosen for community convenience and to create a long weekend\, allowing families to gather and celebrate together.

However\, growing awareness of colonialism's impact and a desire to celebrate Bahamian identity and sovereignty led to a movement to replace Discovery Day. \nThis movement gained strength in the early 2000s\, supported by civic leaders and advocates who argued that Bahamian citizens who advanced civil rights and national pride deserved public recognition more than a European colonizer. \nIn 2007\, the Bahamas Parliament passed the National Heroes Act\, which created a formal system of national honors\, and officially recognized National Heroes' Day to be observed on the second Monday in October. \nIn 2013\, the holiday was first officially celebrated\, replacing Discovery Day in the calendar.
