Tumatagal Labo(mo)r Day off
Ngayon ay Labour Day sa Canada. Bangko, mag-post ng mga opisina ng, government offices, paaralan, and many businesses across the country are closed today.
Celebrated annually on the first Monday in September, Labour Day is essentially the same holiday as Araw ng mga Manggagawa sa ang U.S. — a day to honor working people.
If you’re in the greater Toronto area this week, you might remember Labour Day by planning a visit to the Workers’ Arts and Heritage Centre sa Hamilton, a small museum dedicated to “preserving, honouring, and promoting the culture & history of all working people.”
Kanilang bagong eksibisyon, Harvest Pilgrim, featuring photographs of Canadian migrant farmworkers by Vincenzo Pietropaolo, magbubukas ito Biyernes, Setyembre 11.
In the meantime, let’s take the day off, shall we?
Happy Labo(mo)r Araw!
