New Brunswick Statutory Holidays 2028
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 7, 2026
The 2028 table for New Brunswick lists 8 dates: 5 fall on a weekday and 3 on a weekend. That leaves 255 working days in 2028. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How New Brunswick differs from the federal Canadian holidays
New Brunswick's Employment Standards page lists eight paid public holidays: New Year's Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, New Brunswick Day, Labour Day, Remembrance Day and Christmas Day. Against the federal Canadian set that adds Family Day and New Brunswick Day and leaves out Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving and Boxing Day, so a New Brunswick count drops those four. When a holiday falls on a non-working day, the same page says a qualifying employee must receive another working day off with pay in lieu of it, or, if the employee agrees, a regular day's pay. It fixes no date for that day, so this calendar counts none: a public holiday on a Saturday or Sunday stays on its own date and no weekday is added for it.
