Canada has labour day in September??? How about other countries? I thought may 1 was universal.
U.S. Labor Day is the first Monday in September.

Have a look at http://www.smart.net/~mmontes/ushols.html for information on U.S. holidays. There's a calculator there to give you the exact dates of the "movable" holidays for any year.

Well, there guy's, what do you people eat during these festive occassions during your Summers?.
Lots of salads, cold meat?.
Or a BBQ?, any Regional variations on the BBQ, BTW?
Barbecues have become more popular is the U.K. in recent years, although there are plenty of Brits who seem to detest them for some reason. Personally, I love to eat outdoors from a BBQ on a nice warm summer evening. The climate here is the only thing that really goes against the BBQ! [Linked Image]
