The tradition was first set in place as a humanitarian measure of the French colonial government of New France, who forbade landlords from evicting their tenant farmers before the winter snow melted.
In law, this date was set in the Civil Code of Lower Canada of 1866. May 1 thus became "Moving Day", the day during which renters who wished to vacate their current premises physically changed domiciles. In 1973, the Quebec government decided that it would be better to move Moving Day to the summer.
The 1st of July - Canada day for most Canadians and "premier julliet" or the Moving Day for Quebeckers. Moving Day in Quebec is a well-practiced tradition dating all the way back to when the province used to command fixed terms for leases on rental properties. This date just so happens to fall on Canada Day, July 1st.
