Happy Labour Day!!

“Genius begins excellent works. Labour alone finishes them” – Joseph Joubert

How many of us know why we celebrate Labour Day? It is not just the last official weekend of the summer where we plan gatherings or BBQs or maybe even make plans to host tailgate parties at football games. First celebrated in 1894, Labour Day, officially, falls on the fist Monday of September and celebrates workers rights in Canada and serves as a reminder to everyone of the progress that has be made over the last 150 years. Labour Day signifies a slow and gradual demand for change in worker’s rights concerning working conditions. While there are many ways to celebrate Labour Day, here are a few that might be fun for you!

Alberta Day at Prince’s Island Park. An event to celebrate everything that makes Alberta a great place to live. This event features live entertainment, our absolute favorite... A MADE-IN-ALBERTA marketplace, and fun for the whole family.  #supportlocal

Head out to the mountains! Get in a good hike or walk during the day and then enjoy some amazing views at the Sunset Festival in Banff. The festival ends September 5th and boasts of live music, an offering of craft beverages, good eats and of course, the breathtaking views that can only be found in our Rockies!

Check out the Museum of Failure. Open from now until September 30th, this exhibition showcases a collection of failed innovations that may inspire you to toss your own fear of failure!

Late Nights at the Zoo! Exclusively for labour day weekend, the Calgary Zoo will hold their gates open a bit long for all to enjoy!

Stay at home & enjoy your family! While it is great to get out and enjoy the vibrancy of our city, nothing quite compares to sitting in with those you love the most. Family goes beyond origin and spans to those with whom you have chosen to share your life. We, at The Gift Designers, are big advocates for gathering and celebrations with close friends and loved ones!

Whatever you find yourself up to this long weekend, we hope that you enjoy it to the fullest! We know that our community is full of hardworking folks that strive to positively shape our world and for that, you have earned a well-deserved break to celebrate all that you have worked for!

Happy Labour Day everyone!
