I bet you didn't even realize there is one this Monday! Civic day was created to celebrate the abolition of slavery in the British Empire. This holiday must have been strategically placed right between Canada Day and Labour Day, so us hard working people can have a day off! 

Most of you have probably already planned a weekend getaway to catch the last few rays of the sun before Fall hits. However, if you are like me, you have completely forgot that this holiday even existed, and are now planning on doing some last minute, vacation shopping! 

Here are some of the deals I've found for this awesome Statutory Day Off:


50% Off at Sporting Life: Until August 1, all Spring/Summer fashions for the family are 50% Off! Both in-store and online. 



Puma's semi annual sale is now offering up to 50% Off on their website! Click here to browse their site. 


This isn't exactly an August Long Weekend deal, but 50% Off all jeans at Abercrombie? It was too good to pass off! This sale is available both in-store and online. 


Hush Puppies Canada is offering an extra 40% Off your Entire Purchase PLUS Free Shipping! This offer isn't so obviously displayed on the site, use the coupon code: 8842-HOLIDAYS to get your deal! 


La Vie en Rose: So many promotions! From Buy 2 get 1 Free, to Buy 1 Get 1 Free, to a sale of up to 50% off, La Vie en Rose online store seems to be clearing out their stock! Available until August 1, 2011. 
 

What are you doing for this long weekend? Have you planned in advance, or are you trusting on doing some much needed shopping therapy?
