Manitoba Statutory Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026

The 2028 table for Manitoba lists 9 dates: 9 fall on a weekday and none on a weekend, and 3 of them are marked (observed) or (additional). This page's title says statutory holidays, the holidays a statute sets; the Manitoba Employment Standards fact sheet (gov.mb.ca) calls them general holidays. That leaves 251 working days in 2028. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Manitoba differs from the federal Canadian holidays

Manitoba has nine general holidays, as its Employment Standards fact sheet states. To the federal set it adds Louis Riel Day on the third Monday in February, and it keeps Orange Shirt Day (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) on 30 September. The fact sheet says Easter Sunday, Terry Fox Day, Remembrance Day and Boxing Day are not general holidays, so the federal Remembrance Day and Boxing Day are dropped from a Manitoba count. When a general holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday that an employee does not normally work, the fact sheet says the employee must get the next regular workday off with general holiday pay. So Christmas Day 2027 is counted on Monday 27 December, and in 2028 New Year's Day, Canada Day and Orange Shirt Day are counted on Monday 3 January, Monday 3 July and Monday 2 October.
