Not true. The statutory holiday is whatever day (whether it is a weekday or weekend day) July 1st falls on. Businesses that are usually open (think retail, etc.) are legally required to close on July 1st regardless of what day it falls on. Other businesses that aren't open on the day (such as offices that are open Monday - Friday) are required to give staff a substitute day off with pay but there is nothing that legally requires the day to be Monday. This is unlike say, Labour Day, when the holiday date is determined by 'the first Monday in September'.
