Simcoe Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simcoe Day is the name given to a civic holiday in Ontario by a number of Ontario municipalities, most notably Toronto. It is the only provincial public holiday.

The August holiday falls on the first Monday in August. It is generally a low-key celebration of John Graves Simcoe, who was the first Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario (which was then known as Upper Canada).
