Technically, January 2nd is not a statutory holiday in Ontario. Anybody going to work tomorrow? If yes, why?

If it's not a stat holiday, then it's a regular Friday work day...you answered your own question?

The holidays are over, they end Jan 1st!

Depends on your company, your boss, how much leave you get every year, what you choose to do with that leave, etc.

When you only get paid for the days you work, you take off as much time as you can afford.

A lot of people will just use a vacation day - gets you a nice 4 day weekend

Will be glad when it is back to business as usual. Went to the bank at 3:05PM yesterday and it was closed. Almost impossible to get through to Rogers and my cell company by telephone. Mail takes forever to get delivered.

I am. I'm saving the vacation day for a longer vacation later in the year. I don't expect it to be a very busy day though, I imagine the office will be pretty empty.

Next holiday isn't until Family day (Feb. 16).

So, take that into account when making your decision about tomorrow.

Too late for this year but next year you could petition the government to recognize it.

Next holiday after that is Good Friday April 10 (almost 2 months later). What is the latest Good Friday you remember?

For Americans, there are no holidays between President's Day (mid-Feb) and Memorial Day (late May) => 3 months!

Are you telling me Americans don't observe Good Friday???

Yes.

It is not an official holiday. However, you are free to use personal vacation or close your own business that day.

Though it appears that the stock market observes it.

Americans are pagans.

No they don't. Spent 5 years in the States, and all my Canadian friends were shocked by that.

As it is, North Americans have the least statutory holidays compared to the rest of the world.
