Every. Single. Calendar.

If you’re in Ontario, you’ll rarely see a paper calendar that isn’t SMTWTFS



Same in Quebec.

Never heard anywhere in canada that don’t have their calendar start on Sunday but I’d be curious to find out otherwise.


Walk into a stationery store in British Columbia and you'll find both options.

Perhaps though that is due to the increasingly globalized world and stationery stores desire to have a lot of varied product from great product makers in Japan, USA and further afield.

I grew up aware that some people considered Sunday the start and others Monday, but didn't seem like there were any real firm rules about it where it mattered. I feel like I saw both being used. I always preferred using Monday as the start of the week.

Edit: Had a quick look at the Vancouver recycling calendar they sent me in the mail: Sunday first.

Yeah, Staples or a high end paper craft store will have both.

But if you go into one of those popup calendar stores, all the calendars will be SMTWTFS.
