Why the date stays the same
Canada's national day, marking the 1867 confederation of the colonies into one dominion. A statutory holiday across the country, observed on the Monday when 1 July falls at a weekend.
Which weekday does Canada Day usually fall on?
Across the next twenty years the weekday is not evenly spread. Here is how often it lands on each day:
| Weekday | Times in 20 years |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 4 (most common) |
| Monday | 2 |
| Tuesday | 3 |
| Wednesday | 2 |
| Thursday | 3 |
| Friday | 3 |
| Saturday | 3 |
Because the calendar date is fixed, the weekday drifts forward one day a year and two across a leap year, which spreads it fairly evenly over a 28-year cycle.
Counting to it
From today there are 236 days to go, which is 33 full weeks plus 5 days. Of those, roughly 67 are weekend days. For a second-by-second countdown see the Canada Day countdown, or work out any other span with the date calculator.
