How Long is a Long Weekend--11 days?

The first big long weekend of the summer will be starting next week --the Canada Day Weekend starts on Thursday, the day most kids get out of school. The weekend for many will continue through until late Monday night. There are many celebrations throughout Canada especially on Sunday July 1. For more Canada Day Long weekend activities see Canada Long Weekends.

Many Canadians have been celebrating since June 21.

Imagine an 11 day long weekend celebrating our Canadian Heritage. A good excuse for an early start to the summer "holiday spirit" or "joie de vive" where you can enjoy one or two long weekends. "Celebrate Canada!" activities during the "Celebrate Canada!" period from June 21 to July 1, (including National Aboriginal Day, on June 21, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, Canadian Multiculturalism Day on June 27).
