World Calendar Day

Labour Day

The first Friday in June when Bahamian workers march through Nassau with union banners, brass bands, and a deep pride in the struggles that built the nation. The parade winds through downtown and ends with speeches, food, and a whole lot of storytelling about the old labor movement. After the formalities, it is a cookout, a beach day, and a reminder that every right on the books came from somebody who stood up first.

Jour du Portage — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Jour du Portage

The canoe is Canada's national vehicle. It carried explorers, fur traders, and weekend warriors across every lake and river in the country. The paddling is peaceful. The portage, which is what Canadians call carrying a heavy thing through the woods while being eaten by insects, is less peaceful. Every Canadian has a canoe story and every canoe story ends with someone falling in.

World D-Day Day

Canadian soldiers were vital to the D-Day landings at Juno Beach in Normandy on June 6, 1944. Of the 14,000 Canadians who landed that day, 340 were killed and 574 wounded. Juno was one of the more successful beaches.
