The 1 weekend-falling statutory holidays in 2028 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 10 weekday-falling entries. Canada observes federal statutory holidays under the Holidays Act and the Canada Labour Code. Banks, the Bank of Canada Lynx system, and federally regulated workplaces close.
Holidays not included
Provincial statutory holidays such as Family Day (most provinces, excluding Quebec), Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (Quebec, June 24), Civic Holiday (most provinces excluding Quebec, first Monday of August), and Boxing Day (variations by province) are excluded from this federal-only set.
