Preamble
Ontario’s hospitality industry – including restaurants, hotels, event venues, catering companies and related services – is a key economic driver, a major employer and a vital contributor to community life. The professionals who work in hospitality bring people together, power local businesses and support tourism across the Province of Ontario.
Despite their essential role, hospitality workers often receive limited formal recognition. Proclaiming February 23 as Hospitality Workers Appreciation Day would allow the Province of Ontario to acknowledge their contributions, promote pride across the workforce and encourage investment in the sector’s continued success.
Therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:
Hospitality Workers Appreciation Day
1 February 23 in each year is proclaimed as Hospitality Workers Appreciation Day.
2 Omitted (provides for coming into force of provisions of this Act).
3 Omitted (enacts short title of this Act).
