Canadians parade but their marches are deeply entrenched in the sands of both traditions and reminisce. The celebration recalls a turn around from rigorous fifty-eight hours weekly labor to fifty-four hours per week. Though pains came before the gains, it is also a day where labor heroes of yesteryears are celebrated though several names may not be remembered to the deeds of these can never be forgotten.
 
 

Some of the traditions of Atlantic Canada include soccer and classical labor films. Apart from the regular union activities, its non-union events include; picnics, fireworks, aqua games, etc.

In Jamaica, the day has the dual significance; a public holiday (with its traditional trimmings) and a day of voluntary service to everyone’s immediate environment. The day assumed its second meaning after a clash between divergent trade groups in 1972. This has aided to reduce the emphasis on unionism and has amplified the importance on unity in diversity. The national event takes place on the twenty-third of May annually.

When next you celebrate workers try it the Jamaican way. After some years, your locality would be better for it as a group of individuals makes up unions.
