WE WOULD APPRECIATE MEMBERS BEING ON TIME FOR TOURS. WE WOULD LIKE TO START ON TIME AND NOT MAKE OTHER MEMBERS WAIT TO GET STARTED. THIS DELAYS OUR TOUR AND MAKES OTHERS LATE FOR OTHER TOURS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR SPECIALS. FROM NOW ON, IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR A SPECIAL OR REGULAR TOURS AND NOT IN THE ROOM ON TIME WE WILL HAVE TO TAKE YOU OUT. THIS IS FAIR FOR ALL. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING APART OF THIS LEAGUE AND LOVE THAT YOU ARE HERE. BUT WE NEED TO START TOURS ON TIME. IN THE PAST WE HAVE WAITING BUT THIS MAKES THE ONES ON TIME FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BEING PUNISHED FOR BEING ON TIME AND THAT IS NOT FAIR. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THIS. THANK YOU.

OCT 4, 2025
WORLD ANIMAL DAY IS A DAY OF ACTION RECOGNIZED WORLDWIDE FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS AS WELL AS WELFARE. IT IS CELEBRATED ON 4 OCTOBER, FRANCIS OF ASSISI FEAST DAY, THE ANIMALS’ PATRON SAINT.
THE MISSION OF THIS DAY IS RAISING THE STATUS OF ANIMALS TO IMPROVE WELFARE STANDARDS WORLDWIDE. BUILDING THE CELEBRATION OF THIS DAY BRINGS TOGETHER THE ANIMAL WELFARE MOVEMENT, AND MOBILIZES IT TO BECOME A GLOBAL FORCE IN MAKING THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN A BETTER AND SAFER PLACE FOR ALL ANIMALS.
THE WORLD ANIMAL DAY IS CELEBRATED IN VARIOUS WAYS IN EVERY NATION, IRRESPECTIVE OF POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, FAITH, RELIGION OR NATIONALITY. THROUGH INCREASED AWARENESS PLUS EDUCATION, WE ARE ABLE TO CREATE A WORLD WHEREBY ANIMALS ARE ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGED AS SENTIENT BEINGS PLUS FULL REGARD IS CONSTANTLY PAID TO THEIR WELFARE.
HEINRICH ZIMMERMANN STARTED THE WORLD ANIMAL DAY. ON 24 MARCH 1925, HE ORGANISED THE FIRST-EVER WORLD ANIMAL DAY AT SPORTS PALACE LOCATED IT BERLIN, GERMAN. MORE THAN 5,000 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE FIRST EVENT. IT WAS INITIALLY SCHEDULED FOR 4 OCT TO ALIGN WITH SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI FEAST DAY, BUT THE VENUE WASN’T AVAILABLE ON THAT VERY DAY. IN 1929, THE WORLD ANIMAL DAY WAS MOVED TO 4 OCT FOR THE FIRST TIME.
AT FIRST, HE ONLY FOUND A FOLLOWING IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA, SWITZERLAND, AUSTRIA AND GERMANY. EVERY YEAR, ZIMMERMANN WORKED WITH GREAT EFFORT TO PROMOTE THE WORLD ANIMAL DAY. EVENTUALLY, IN MAY 1931 WHILE HE WAS AT THE ISAR CONGRESS IN FLORENCE, ITALY, ZIMMERMANN’S PROPOSAL TO MAKE 4 OCT WORLD ANIMAL DAY INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED, WAS UNANIMOUSLY ACCEPTED AND IT WAS ADOPTED AS A RESOLUTION.
OCT 6, 2025
THE UN’S WORLD HABITAT DAY WAS FIRST CELEBRATED IN 1986 WITH THE THEME “SHELTER IS MY RIGHT”. NAIROBI WAS ALLOCATED AS THE HOST CITY FOR THE OBSERVANCE THAT YEAR. THIS ANNUAL EVENT IS HELD ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF OCTOBER WITH A NEW THEME EACH YEAR. PREVIOUS THEMES INCLUDED: “SHELTER FOR THE HOMELESS” (1987); “OUR NEIGHBORHOOD” (1995); “FUTURE CITIES” (1997); “SAFER CITIES” (1998); “WOMEN IN URBAN GOVERNANCE” (2000); “CITIES WITHOUT SLUMS” (2001) AND “WATER AND SANITATION FOR CITIES” (2003).
AN IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY IS THE “HABITAT SCROLL OF HONOR” AWARD, WHICH WAS LAUNCHED BY THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN SETTLEMENTS PROGRAMMER (UNHSP) IN 1989. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AWARD AND AIMS TO ACKNOWLEDGE INITIATIVES THAT MAKE OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS IN AREAS SUCH AS SHELTER PROVISION, HIGHLIGHTING THE PLIGHT OF THE HOMELESS, LEADERSHIP IN POST CONFLICT RECONSTRUCTION, AND DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING THE HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AND THE QUALITY OF URBAN LIFE.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS IS OFTEN PORTRAYED AS THE FIRST EUROPEAN TO SAIL TO THE AMERICAS. HE IS SOMETIMES PORTRAYED AS THE DISCOVERER OF THE NEW WORLD. HOWEVER, THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL ON MANY COUNTS. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE FIRST EUROPEANS TO SAIL ACROSS THE ATLANTIC WERE VIKING EXPLORERS FROM SCANDINAVIA. IN ADDITION, THE LAND WAS ALREADY POPULATED BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, WHO HAD 'DISCOVERED' THE AMERICAS THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE.
COLUMBUS DAY ORIGINATED AS A CELEBRATION OF ITALIAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE AND WAS FIRST HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1869. THE FIRST STATE-WIDE CELEBRATION WAS HELD IN COLORADO IN 1907. IN 1937, COLUMBUS DAY BECOME A HOLIDAY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. SINCE 1971, IT HAS BEEN CELEBRATED ON THE SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER. THE DATE ON WHICH COLUMBUS ARRIVED IN THE AMERICAS IS ALSO CELEBRATED AS THE DÃA DE LA RAZA (DAY OF THE RACE) IN LATIN AMERICA AND SOME LATINO COMMUNITIES IN THE USA. HOWEVER, IT IS A CONTROVERSIAL HOLIDAY IN SOME COUNTRIES AND HAS BEEN RE-NAMED IN OTHERS.

THANKSGIVING DAY IS A NATIONAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN CANADA. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE DAY OFF WORK AND ALL SCHOOLS AND POST OFFICES ARE CLOSED. MANY STORES AND OTHER BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO CLOSED. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES MAY RUN TO A REDUCED TIMETABLE OR MAY NOT RUN AT ALL.
IN NEW BRUNSWICK, THANKSGIVING DAY IS A PRESCRIBED DAY OF REST, MEANING THAT BUSINESSES MUST BE CLOSED. NOVA SCOTIA TREATS THIS DAY AS A RETAIL CLOSING DAY, WHEN SOME RETAIL BUSINESSES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPEN AND EMPLOYEES HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO REFUSE TO WORK.
MANY PEOPLE HAVE A DAY OFF WORK ON THE SECOND MONDAY OF OCTOBER. THEY OFTEN USE THE THREE-DAY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND TO VISIT FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHO LIVE FAR AWAY, OR TO RECEIVE THEM IN THEIR OWN HOMES. MANY PEOPLE ALSO PREPARE A SPECIAL MEAL TO EAT AT SOME POINT DURING THE LONG WEEKEND. TRADITIONALLY, THIS INCLUDED ROAST TURKEY AND SEASONAL PRODUCE, SUCH AS PUMPKIN, CORN EARS AND PECAN NUTS. NOW, THE MEAL MAY CONSIST OF OTHER FOODS, PARTICULARLY IF THE FAMILY IS OF NON-EUROPEAN DESCENT.
THE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IS ALSO A POPULAR TIME TO TAKE A SHORT AUTUMN VACATION. THIS MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE IN A WHILE FOR SOME PEOPLE TO USE COTTAGES OR HOLIDAY HOMES BEFORE WINTER SETS IN. OTHER POPULAR ACTIVITIES INCLUDE OUTDOOR BREAKS TO ADMIRE THE SPECTACULAR COLORS OF THE CANADIAN AUTUMN, HIKING, AND FISHING. FANS OF THE TEAMS IN THE CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE MAY SPEND PART OF THE WEEKEND WATCHING THE THANKSGIVING DAY CLASSIC MATCHES.
OCT 31, 2025
HALLOWEEN CELEBRATIONS INCLUDE COSTUME PARTIES WHERE PEOPLE DRESS AS WITCHES, GHOSTS, AND ANIMAL FIGURES ASSOCIATED WITH HALLOWEEN, OR AS FICTITIOUS CHARACTERS FROM HORROR FILMS, TELEVISION SHOWS OR BOOKS. COSTUME PARTIES ARE OFTEN HELD AT PEOPLE’S HOMES, A HIRED VENUE, OR VENUES THAT ARE SUPPOSEDLY HAUNTED.
MANY SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD, INCLUDING INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS, CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN BY HOSTING COSTUME PARADES AND AWARD PRIZES FOR CREATIVE COSTUMES. SCHOOLS ALSO PROVIDE FUN CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES SUCH AS BOBBING FOR APPLES, HALLOWEEN-THEMED COLORING OR DRAWING CONTESTS, AND OTHER GAMES ASSOCIATED WITH HALLOWEEN. STUDENTS ALSO LEARN ABOUT THE OBSERVANCE’S ORIGINS AND HISTORY.
MANY CHILDREN DRESS IN COSTUMES AND FORM GROUPS THAT ARE ACCOMPANIED BY ADULTS TO EMBARK ON A TRICK-OR-TREATING ADVENTURE. THIS ACTIVITY INVOLVES CHILDREN KNOCKING ON DOORS IN THEIR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND REQUESTING A TRICK OR TREAT. SOME PEOPLE GIVE OUT TREATS WHILE OTHERS REQUEST A TRICK, WHICH OFTEN INVOLVES CHILDREN PRESENTING A SMALL JOKE OR TRICK. MANY HOMES ARE DECORATED TO FIT THE HALLOWEEN THEME DURING THIS PERIOD. DECORATIONS INCLUDE FAKE COBWEBS, JACK-O-LANTERNS AND IMAGES OF BLACK CATS OR WITCHES.
WE ALL HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT SUMMER, FALL IS FINALLY HERE TEMPS COOLING DOWN SO TIME TO CURL UP WITH A BLANKET AND PLAY SOME TOURS WITH US, WE HAVE A SPOOKTACULAR MONTH FOR YOU ALL FOR HALLOWEEN, WATCH OUT FOR THE GHOSTS & GOBLINS.
