VICTORIA — The B.C. government introduced legislation Tuesday to make Sept. 30 a statutory holiday to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a recognition that Labour Minister Harry Bains said will provide opportunities to hold annual commemoration events similar to Remembrance Day.
The B.C. holiday follows the federal government’s decision in 2021 to declare Sept. 30 a national truth and reconciliation holiday for its workers.
“I’m proud and humbled to be part of what I consider a historic step as a British Columbian,” said Bains at a news conference following the introduction of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Act.
“This day provides an annual opportunity for people to learn about our colonial history and how it has impacted Indigenous communities, and to participate in commemorative events in a way similar to Remembrance Day,” he said.
Um, federally regulated industries already had this as a stat since its inception.
Good for BC for making it official for all BC workers, instead of the "provincial government workers/institutions will get the stat but it's up to employer policy for private industries, BS"

I think it's always Sept 30th, if it falls on a Saturday, we do what we do when Christmas falls on a Saturday ... make up on Monday. So yes if you mean the stat day off ... but the ceremonial stuff, I think, will still be on Sept 30th.
June is a glaring omission as well. Can we just celebrate National Aboriginal Day instead (it's June 21st)? This year we'll have two holiday weekends back to back. Oct 2 and Oct 9th. Take 4 days off and you'll get 10 in a row!

This is how you pick your day's off, thank you sending in the request.

we getting close to europe, but still not that close. those German bastards get 4 full weeks off the hop, and then you got all the federal/provincial days that adds another 13 days on top. Basically they only work like 10 months out of the year.

Then you take the extra days when you book those short holiday weeks and book off say, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Manager: "So you got noticed for not doing enough OT, you're being booked for mandatory OT on BF and CM."
Me with approved Vacation Days: "OK."
Manager, smirking a few hrs later, "No OT for you, but I wouldn't talk to the director any time soon lol."
