Bridge day check

Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

Marks the 1867 confederation of the provinces. Ottawa's Parliament Hill show is the national focus; elsewhere it is fireworks, red-and-white everything and community barbecues. In Quebec it is overshadowed by 24 June and doubles as moving day, when most residential leases turn over.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks, government and most offices close. Liquor stores and many shops close in Ontario; grocery varies by province.

Getting around

Sunday timetables, road closures around downtown fireworks, and gridlock on Montreal streets from the lease turnover.
