Newfoundland and Labrador Statutory Holidays 2028
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026
Newfoundland and Labrador observes 6 statutory holidays in 2028: 6 fall on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend, leaving 254 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 Newfoundland and Labrador differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Newfoundland and Labrador names just six paid public holidays in section 14(1) of the Labour Standards Act: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day (the province's name for Canada Day, 1 July), Labour Day, Remembrance Day, and Christmas Day. It adds nothing to the federal set and does not treat Easter Monday, Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September), Thanksgiving, or Boxing Day as paid public holidays, so a Newfoundland count drops those five federal days. St. Patrick's Day, St. George's Day, Discovery Day, and Orangemen's Day are often listed for the province but are Shop Closing Act observances, not Labour Standards Act paid holidays, so they are named here and left out of the count. Under section 16, a public holiday that falls on a non-working day moves to the first working day after, which is why Remembrance Day, on Saturday 11 November in 2028, is observed on Monday 13 November. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
