Kumazwe amaninzi ehlabathi Usuku lwabasebenzi Nge-1 kaMeyi, nangona kunjalo eCanada kukhunjulwa uMvulo wokuqala kaSeptemba wonyaka ngamnye.
Imvelaphi yoSuku lwaBasebenzi eCanada isusela ngo-Disemba 1872, xa umatshi wokuxhasa ugwayimbo lomzi-mveliso weleta yaseToronto waququzelelwa umsebenzi oneeyure ezingama-58 zomsebenzi ngeveki yokusebenza.
Ngale ndlela, i-Union of Typographers, neyayiqhankqalaza ukusukela ngomhla wama-25 kweyoKwindla, yaququzelela ukukhubazeka okwathi kwabangela ukuba amapolisa abambe iinkokeli ezingama-24 zeManyano yabachwethezi. Eminye imibutho yabasixhenxe yabonisa e-Ottawa, isenza isithembiso se-Nkulumbuso yase-Canada u-Sir John A. Macdonald sokurhoxisa "umthetho ombi" we-anti-union.
Kude kube ipalamente ipasisa umthetho kwimibutho yabasebenzi nge-14 kaJuni kunyaka olandelayo, kwaye kungekudala zonke iimanyano zabasebenzi zifuna iiyure ezingama-54 ngeveki. NgoJulayi 23, 1894, Inkulumbuso yaseCanada uJohn Thompson kunye noRhulumente wakhe bavuma uSuku lwaBasebenzi ukuba lujongwe ngoSeptemba, iholide esemthethweni.
Ngelixa usuku lomSebenzi kunye neepiknikki zilungelelaniswe yimibutho yabasebenzi, uninzi lwabantu baseCanada banepiknik, imisebenzi yomlilo, imisebenzi yamanzi, kunye neminyhadala yobugcisa boluntu. Kuba unyaka wesikolo omtsha uqala ngokubanzi emva koSuku lwaBasebenzi, iintsapho ezinabantwana abakwiminyaka yokuhamba isikolo bayithatha njengethuba lokugqibela lokuhamba ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlobo.
Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba kukho umngcelele woSuku lwaBasebenzi eGrand Falls-Windsor, eNewfoundland, eyaqala nge-1910 kwaye iyaqhubeka nanamhlanje, apho imibhiyozo iqhubeka khona iintsuku ezintathu kunye nomhla woSuku lwaBasebenzi ngoMvulo.
