Thursday, November 27th is Thanksgiving Day in the US. Up here in Canada, we already gave thanks a few weeks ago. So while many of our American friends will be tucking into a huge spread involving turkey and all the fixings, we’ll be here answering support calls and providing the usual services to our Resellers.

Platypus ISP Billing customers can head to the Platypus website to find out what’s open and closed at our Starkville office. You can bet they’ll be cheering on Mississippi State in the annual Battle of the Golden Egg on Friday.

To all Americans – our customers, and fellow employees – we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday.

Monday, October 13th, 2008 is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. As a result, we’ll be operating with reduced staffing, or hours in some departments:

• OpenSRS Technical Support will operate as usual, with regular hours.
• Compliance, Payments, Service Bureau and Special Processing departments will all be closed Monday.

To those celebrating, have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Monday, September 1, 2008 is Labor Day in Canada and the United States. As a result, we’ll be operating with reduced hours.

• OpenSRS Technical Support will operate as usual, with regular hours.
• Compliance, Payments, Service Bureau and Special Processing departments will all be closed Monday.

Labor Day is widely regarded as a day of rest so we hope you all kick back, relax and enjoy the last few days of summer.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday!

Monday, August 4th, 2008 is a Civic Holiday in most parts of Canada.

As a result of the holiday, Tucows headquarters in Toronto will be operating with reduced staffing:

• OpenSRS Technical Support will operate as usual, with regular hours.
• Compliance, Payments, Service Bureau and Special Processing departments will all be closed Monday.

Here in Toronto, the day is officially known as “Simcoe Day,” honouring John Graves Simcoe who founded our city (then called York) back in 1793. Simcoe felt the location, on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, would be a better location for the Capital of Upper Canada than the previous location at Niagara-on-the-lake. Simcoe’s chief concern was an attack by the Americans to the south. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.

We’ll be back to our regular hours on Tuesday.

Next week provides the opportunity for Tucows staff on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border to celebrate the creation of our respective countries.
