The Ascension is traditionally on the Thursday.  It's only some parts of
the world (such as Canada, England, Wales, and most of the US) that move it
to Sunday.  But if we have to pick a single day to put it on for a
calendar, I would pick the traditional date of 39 days after Easter.

This is actually the page you want for figuring out when it is for a
particular country (at least to Roman Catholics).  If the Ascension is
listed under a country's heading, it's on Thursday (39 days).  Otherwise,
it gets moved to the 7th Sunday of Easter (42 days).
