Enjoyed the day off, for Columbus Day. Although I must admit, I'm watching the movement of changing the holiday to "Indigenous People Day" with interest.

Hmm. So how did we go from "Delaware Avenue" to "Christopher Columbus Blvd."?
Following Canadian usage would sound much better: "First Nations Day."

Or how about Leif Eriksen Day? After all, he landed here almost 500 years before Columbus did.
