Labour Day Remains EHT SDRAWKCAB YADILOH
In case you are puzzled about the title ... it's Labour Day, The Backwards Holiday. Every year when it rolls around, I wonder why it's named Labour Day and can't help making the same point. Since it's a Holiday intended to be just that, a Holiday - I think a better name could be Relax Day or Lazy Day or Off Day or Sleep in Day, may be even Do-Nothing Day. Something other than Labour Day. After all, we know what Labour means. And many will likely be celebrating Labour Day by Labouring.Labour Day came about because workers felt they were spending too many hours and days on the job.
In the 1830s, manufacturing workers were putting in 70-hour weeks on average. Sixty years later, in 1890, hours of work had dropped, although the average manufacturing worker still toiled in a factory 60 hours a week.
These long working hours caused many union organizers to focus on winning a shorter eight-hour work day. They also focused on getting workers more days off, such as the Labour Day holiday, and reducing the workweek to just six days.
These early organizers clearly won since the most recent data show that the average person working in manufacturing is employed for a bit over 40 hours a week and most people work only five days a week.
Surprisingly, many politicians and business owners were actually in favour of giving workers more time off. That’s because workers who had no free time were not able to spend their wages on traveling, entertainment or dining out.
As you know , Canadian Mental Health Association helps people overcome mental health issues via timely intervention and providing counselling and community-based support to people experiencing mental illness. They do a whole lot of different things for different people. This can range from answering crisis calls (they have a 24 hour 7 day a week number that anyone in Peel region can call at any time), to Addiction Medicine (medication to prevent withdrawal symptom and manage cravings), to education programs for kids in schools to help them understand and identify mental illness and how to get help if they, or someone they know, need it.
As the U.S. economy expanded beyond farming and basic manufacturing in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it became important for businesses to find consumers interested in buying the products and services being produced in ever greater amounts. Shortening the work week was one way of turning the working class into the consuming class.
So, to celebrate the month of September and the affection for Labouring, I have a special announcement to make: I will be Labouring, but for a very special reason.
My team and I are addicted to helping you and those you know buy or sell the place they call home. In fact it's a race to help as many as possible so we can GIVE more away.
A CORE philosophy at our team is ‘the size of the hole you receive through is directly proportionate to the size of the hole you give through. This is why our Mission is to Go Serve Big!!!

Why I Support Canadian Mental Health Association
After immigrating in the mid-’90s, Mississauga has been home to my family and me for nearly as long as we have been in Canada. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from anxiety and trouble with sleeping and getting help from CMHA with different therapies to help overcome those issues. It was then that I began paying closer attention to the work they do at that the centre Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working mental health care professionals, most making their home right here in Mississauga area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help people overcome unfortunate mental health issues that life sometimes throws our way.
Being in the Mississauga area and a first generation Canadian, I take pride in supporting in a way that I can the good work these amazing people do at CMHA Peel Dufferin. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help CMHA Peel Dufferin in their quest to heal people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that CMHA share similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them. I encourage you to visit their website at cmhapeeldufferin.ca and check out how they are making a difference in the lives of children and their families!
