Terry Fox Day will take place on Monday, August 5, 2024. This weekend is also often referred to as August Long Weekend and the second last long weekend of the summer.
Since it isn’t a statutory holiday, most places will remain open. Grocery stores will maintain regular hours and malls will use Sunday hours (11:00am – 6:00pm).

It is a statutory holiday in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Prince Edward Island, but not in Manitoba.
