Good Friday or Easter Monday, at the employer's option. Evidence supports the choice relationship, not a change to stored dates or their confirmation.
Public holiday information
Federal and provincial calendars. The national list is a federal general-holiday reference, not a universal closure calendar. Select the province or territory that governs the employment. Quebec offers Good Friday or Easter Monday, not both as a single entitlement.
Offices
The national list is a federal general-holiday reference, not a universal closure calendar. Select the province or territory that governs the employment. Quebec offers Good Friday or Easter Monday, not both as a single entitlement. Essential and continuous services may remain open.
Banks
Check the bank or payment-system notice for opening hours and settlement deadlines. A public holiday listing is not a verified branch schedule.
Schools
School-board terms require separate notices; no province-wide breaks have been invented.
Practical planning
Check dates before booking and allow for busy transport around holidays. Use PDF, calendar download or Print to keep a planning copy.

Frequently asked questions
Are all listed dates confirmed?
Read each date status and source. Estimated dates are planning references and can change.
Does a holiday guarantee a day off?
The national list is a federal general-holiday reference, not a universal closure calendar. Select the province or territory that governs the employment. Quebec offers Good Friday or Easter Monday, not both as a single entitlement.
Are school breaks included?
School-board terms require separate notices; no province-wide breaks have been invented.
How are long weekends calculated?
The planner combines the selected weekend with eligible holiday dates. Conditional choices are evaluated separately; alternatives are not added together.
How do I find a holiday in this calendar?
Use Find a holiday to filter the displayed calendar by name. Select a state or territory first to search its complete calendar, including local and part-day entries.
Does an additional or substitute date replace the observance?
The recorded date role distinguishes additional holidays, substitute days and observances. Follow the official source and coverage note for the selected jurisdiction.
Are school holidays the same as public holidays?
No. School terms, breaks and student-free days have separate state or territory calendars. Some divisions use different dates, and individual schools can have additional arrangements.
What does the downloaded planner include?
The PDF uses the selected calendar and weekend assumption, with long-weekend planning, notes and official sources. A national overview keeps occasions separate from state-specific closures. The calendar download for a selected jurisdiction retains coverage and part-day hours.
What should I check before arranging leave?
Read the date status and coverage note, then check employer, bank, school and transport arrangements. Dates awaiting an official announcement are explicitly identified; a missing date does not mean a normal working day.
