Labour Day
Workers' annual celebration
Labour Day is a public holiday honouring workers, typically held on the first Monday of September in Canada and the United States, or on May 1 in much of the rest of the world.
The spelling with -our is standard in British English and Commonwealth countries: Labour Day weekend marks the unofficial end of summer. (Also spelled Labor Day in American English.)
