Manitoba Statutory Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: August 26, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026

Manitoba observes 9 statutory holidays in 2028: 9 fall on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend, leaving 251 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Canada; what changes is the statutory holiday set.

How Manitoba differs from the federal Canadian holidays

Manitoba recognizes nine general holidays under The Employment Standards Code. It replaces the February long weekend with Louis Riel Day on the third Monday of February, keeps Orange Shirt Day (the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) on 30 September as a general holiday under section 21(1)(e.1), and does not treat Boxing Day as a general holiday, so that federal day is dropped. Remembrance Day is handled separately under The Remembrance Day Act, which closes most businesses but is not a Code general holiday, and Terry Fox Day on the first Monday of August is optional rather than statutory; both are named here but left out of the general-holiday count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
