Prince Edward Island Statutory Holidays 2028
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 7, 2026
The 2028 table for Prince Edward Island lists 8 dates: 4 fall on a weekday and 4 on a weekend. This page's title says statutory holidays, the holidays a statute sets; Prince Edward Island's Employment Standards Act calls them paid holidays. That leaves 256 working days in 2028. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Prince Edward Island differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Prince Edward Island's Employment Standards Act names eight paid holidays: New Year's Day, Islander Day, Good Friday, 1 July, Labour Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (observed on 30 September), Remembrance Day and Christmas Day. Against the federal Canadian set that adds Islander Day and leaves out Victoria Day, Thanksgiving and Boxing Day, so those three federal days are dropped. When a paid holiday falls on a day that is not a work day for the employee, section 27(2) lets the employer give the holiday with pay on the employee's next work day after it, on the next work day after the employee's annual vacation, or on a day both agree before that vacation. The Act names no single day, so this calendar counts none: a paid holiday on a Saturday or Sunday stays on its own date and no weekday is added for it.
