Every year Canada Day falls on a Tuesday
| Year | Date | From now |
|---|---|---|
| 2031 | July 1, 2031 | 4.6 years |
| 2036 | July 1, 2036 | 9.6 years |
| 2042 | July 1, 2042 | 15.6 years |
| 2053 | July 1, 2053 | 26.6 years |
| 2059 | July 1, 2059 | 32.6 years |
| 2064 | July 1, 2064 | 37.6 years |
The gaps between them are not even. A fixed calendar date moves forward one weekday each year and two across a leap year, so the same weekday recurs on a 6, 11, 5, 6, 11 pattern rather than every seven years.
How far apart are they?
The gap between one Tuesday occurrence and the next is 5, then 6, then 11, then 6, then 5 years. That uneven rhythm comes from leap years: a fixed date moves forward one weekday most years but two whenever a 29 February sits in between, so the same weekday returns on an irregular cycle rather than every seven years.
