For close to a century, the September long weekend has served as a cultural anchor for Canadians coast to coast. Much like Tippet-Richardson has built its legacy over nearly 100 years by guiding families and businesses through their most important transitions, this iconic weekend marks our collective transition from the warmth of summer into a new season of focus and opportunity.
Whether you’re heading up to the cottage for one last sunrise on the water, pitching a tent under the stars, staying local to connect with family and friends, or stepping entirely out of your routine to try something completely new, this is your moment to unplug, recharge, and execute your downtime with the same excellence you bring to your work.

Here is how to maximize the final stretch of the season:
- Protect Your Space:Â Truly disconnect from incoming professional demands so you return with absolute clarity and sharpened focus.
- Elevate Your Staycation:Â If you are staying home, turn the experience into a boutique retreat with local artisanal foods, intentional downtime, and curated playlists.
- Embrace a New Challenge: Cross off one last outdoor objective—explore an unfamiliar trail, hit the lake, or take up a sport you haven’t played in years.
