Which of the following is NOT a Canadian National Public Holiday?

  1. Sir John A. Macdonald Day

  2. Independence Day

  3. Vimy Day

  4. Fête nationale (Quebec)

The correct answer is: Independence Day

Although Canada and the United States have many similarities, Independence Day is not observed as a National Public Holiday in Canada. Sir John A. Macdonald Day is celebrated on January 11th in honor of the first Prime Minister of Canada. Vimy Day is observed on April 9th to commemorate the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a significant event in Canadian history. Fête nationale (Quebec) is celebrated on June 24th as a provincial holiday in Quebec. Therefore, B Independence Day is the only incorrect option as it is not a Canadian National Public Holiday.
