Labour Day is observed on the first Monday in September in the United States and Canada. It recognises the contributions of workers and the labour movement, with roots in late nineteenth-century campaigns for workers’ rights. The day is often marked with parades, picnics, community gatherings and reflection on fair work, dignity and social progress.

Event Suggestions:
• Creating a timeline about labour movements and workers’ rights
• Hosting a discussion on fair work, community wellbeing and social progress
• Sharing stories about different kinds of work and the contributions of workers
