According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, Labour Day (the first Monday in September) has been a statutory holiday in Canada since 1894. It originated in the first workersβ rallies of the Victorian era and can be traced back to an 1872 printersβ strike in Toronto. Fighting for shortened work hours, on 25 March 1872, the printers went on strike.
On 15 April, a demonstration was held to show solidarity among the workers of Toronto. A parade of some 2,000 workers marched through the city, headed by marching bands. By the time the parade reached Queen`s Park, the sympathetic crowd had grown to 10,000.
For the strikers themselves, the short-term effects were very damaging. Many lost their jobs and were forced to leave Toronto. The long-term effects, however, were positive. After 1872, almost all union demands included the 9-hour day and the 54-hour week.
Throughout the 1880s, pressure built in Canada to declare a national labour holiday and on 23 July 1894, the government of Prime Minister John Thompson passed a law making Labour Day official.
We hope you get to enjoy some time off with family and friends this Labour Day! Please come and celebrate the labours of our fabulous vendors at our next Market on September 14th!
