National Heroes Day on 24 January

For those eager to celebrate the next public holiday you'll be glad to hear it will be on Monday 24 January, National Heroes Day. National Heroes Day is observed on the fourth Monday in January but since there are five Mondays in January 2005 some people have incorrectly assumed the holiday will be on 31 January, the last Monday of the month.

In 2005 we will also celebrate an additional holiday for Election Day on Wednesday, 11 May which will give voters every opportunity to attend polling stations.
