International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Tuesday December 3
Since 1992, this day has been nationally observed to encourage the understanding of disability issues. Not only is it important to recognize the achievements of people with a disability, but also to remember their rights and their need for quality services and support.
National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (Canada)
Friday December 6
Established by the Parliament of Canada in 1991, this day commemorates those who have experienced gender-based violence. It falls on the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre when 14 women were killed by an armed student said to be “fighting feminism”. This day also serves as a call to action to educate oneself and speak out against gender-based violence.

Winter Solstice
Saturday December 21
Happy first day of winter! As the Earth rotates through the shortest day of the year, we can look forward to lengthening days ahead.
Christmas Day
Wednesday December 25
Merry Christmas! This religious and cultural festival is celebrated around the globe by the religious and the secular alike. With carols, gift-giving, tree decorating, and special foods, Christmas is a much-beloved holiday… especially by children eagerly awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus!
Hanukkah
Wednesday December 25 – Thursday January 2
Happy Hanukkah! The Festival of Lights commemorates the recovery of Jerusalem and the Second Temple during the Maccabean Revolt. Lighting a menorah and frying up latkes during the holiday celebrates the miracle of oil, when a day’s worth of oil burned for eight days and nights. With special foods, blessings, rituals, songs, and gifts, Hanukkah is a bright time at the beginning of the winter.
Boxing Day
Thursday December 26
Happy Boxing Day! Originally a day meant for giving gifts to those in need, Boxing Day is now largely a day of shopping deals and top-tier football matches… and some much-needed time to digest the previous day’s Christmas dinner!
Kwanzaa
Thursday December 26 – Wednesday January 1
Happy Kwanzaa! Kwanzaa is a seven day African-American celebration of culture based on various harvest festival traditions from around the African continent. Each of the seven days is dedicated to one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
