Specific comments on bank and public holidays in Canada+ ?1 U- f1 E8 ^. [5 @! D5 i' k
" r; m2 \6 |" G! [Public holidays that fall on a weekend are often taken on a Monday, but not officially. Some businesses take the Monday while others take the preceding Friday. There is a push to make Saint Patrick's Day a national holiday. It is being sponsored by Guinness. Employers in QC have the option of giving either Good Friday or Easter Monday off. Victoria Day is not officially a statutory holiday in NB, NL, NS, or PE, but most people have it off anyway. Officially, only Canada Day is moved to a Monday when July 1 falls on a Sunday. There is no official stance when it falls on a Saturday. Many take Friday off when it falls on a Saturday. The Civic Holiday is referred to differently in various areas: AB (Alberta): Heritage Day. BC (British Columbia): British Columbia Day. MB (Manitoba): Civic Holiday. NB (New Brunswick): New Brunswick Day. NL (Newfoundland and Labrador): Regatta Day. NS (Nova Scotia): Natal Day. ON (Ontario): Civic Holiday (or Simcoe Day in Toronto). PE (Prince Edward Island): Natal Day. QC (Quebec): St. Jean Baptiste (June 24). SK (Saskatchewan): Civic Holiday or Saskatchewan Day. NT (Northwest Territories): Civic Holiday. NU (Nunavut): Civic Holiday. YK (Yukon): Discovery Day. Thanksgiving is not officially a statutory holiday in MB, NB, NL, NS, PE, or QC, but most people have it off anyway. Remembrance Day is not officially a statutory holiday in MB, NB, NL, ON, PE, or QC.
