Section 2-28 of The Legislation Act provides the following for the computation of time: 2-28(1) A period expressed in days and described as beginning or ending on, at or with a specified day, or continuing to or until a specified day, includes the specified day. (2) A period expressed in days and described as occurring before, after or from a specified day excludes the specified day. (3) A period described by reference to a number of days between two events excludes the day on which the first event happens and includes the day on which the second event happens. (4) In the calculation of time expressed as a number of clear days, weeks, months or years or as “at least” or “not less than” a number of days, weeks, months or years, the first and last days are excluded. (5) A time limit for the doing of anything that falls or expires on a holiday is extended to include the next day that is not a holiday.
