British Columbia Day is a Canadian provincial public holiday observed on the first Monday of August, celebrating British Columbia’s admission as the sixth province to join Confederation on July 20, 1871. National Night Out is observed on the first Tuesday of August — the annual community anti-crime event in which neighborhoods across the United States host block parties, visits from local police, and front-yard gatherings to build community-police relationships. Clean Your Floors Day was created to encourage people to move furniture and perform a thorough floor cleaning rather than simply sweeping around obstacles. Commerce Day is a holiday observed in some jurisdictions honoring the role of trade and commerce in national economies.
