Bee Gees - Holiday (1967)
Today be B.C. Day, Monday, August 1, a Civic Holiday 2022 - It's a Holiday, You're a Holiday
On March 24, 2021, the House of Commons voted unanimously to officially designate August 1 Emancipation Day.
The August long weekend marks the actual day in 1834 that the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 came into effect
across the British Empire. Canadians are not always aware that Black and Indigenous Peoples were once enslaved
on the land that is now Canada. Those who fought enslavement were pivotal in shaping our society to be as
diverse as it is today. In British Columbia Canada today is officially called Family Day!
