Is this weekend a long weekend in Canada?
It is if the weekend touches a statutory holiday on a Friday or a Monday. Check the next long weekend at the top of this page: if its dates are this weekend, it is a long weekend. Some holidays only apply in certain provinces, and each long weekend on this calendar names them.
What are the long weekends in Canada in 2027?
New Year's Day (Fri Jan 1 to Sun Jan 3), Family Day (Sat Feb 13 to Mon Feb 15, in most provinces), Easter (Fri Mar 26 to Sun Mar 28), Victoria Day (Sat May 22 to Mon May 24), Civic Holiday (Sat Jul 31 to Mon Aug 2, in many provinces), Labour Day (Sat Sep 4 to Mon Sep 6), Thanksgiving (Sat Oct 9 to Mon Oct 11), and Christmas and Boxing Day (Sat Dec 25 to Tue Dec 28). Canada Day 2027 falls on a Thursday, so it does not create a long weekend on its own.
Which provinces get Family Day and the Civic Holiday?
The February holiday is observed in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba (Louis Riel Day), New Brunswick, Nova Scotia (Heritage Day), Ontario, Prince Edward Island (Islander Day) and Saskatchewan. The August Civic Holiday goes by different local names and is observed in British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario and Saskatchewan, though it is not a statutory holiday everywhere.
Is Victoria Day a long weekend in Quebec?
Yes. Quebec observes National Patriots' Day (Journee nationale des patriotes) on the same Monday as Victoria Day, so it is a long weekend there too. Victoria Day is not a paid general holiday in Nova Scotia, so check your own schedule if you work in Atlantic Canada.
Is Easter a 4-day weekend in Canada?
For most people it is 3 days: Good Friday is a federal statutory holiday and a statutory holiday in most provinces and territories. Easter Monday is also a statutory holiday in New Brunswick, and many federal public servants get it off too, which makes it 4 days for them.
How do I add Canadian long weekends to Google Calendar?
Click Sync on this page, sign in with your Google account, and choose Google Calendar. Every upcoming long weekend appears as its own all-day event, and you can choose Apple Calendar or Outlook instead. Each event lists the holiday, the observed date, the days off, and the provinces where it applies when it is not national.
Which timezone are the long weekends shown in?
Each long weekend is an all-day event, so it sits on the same dates in every timezone across Canada and does not shift when you travel.
How is the Canadian long weekends calendar kept up to date?
The dates are worked out from the holiday rules, including the observed day when a holiday lands on a weekend (for example, Christmas 2027 is a Saturday, so the days off move to Monday December 27 and Tuesday December 28), and new years are added automatically. Your calendar app rechecks the subscription periodically. Sync2Cal starts with a free trial, so you can see it working before you pay.
