This page groups statutory holidays that fall immediately before or after a weekend in at least one jurisdiction with a verified holiday list. Each entry shows where the holiday is statutory, including federal workplaces where applicable. Whether it gives you a long weekend depends on the jurisdiction and your work schedule. A holiday recognized in one province may not be statutory in another. Where a date has not yet been verified here, the last column names the jurisdictions still awaiting verification.

Four-day weekends in 2027 with at most one day off

If you normally have weekends off and have the statutory holiday off, taking Monday off before a Tuesday holiday or Friday off after a Thursday holiday creates a four-day weekend. The suggested day off is calculated from the holiday’s date. Check your employer’s rules before making plans.

Common questions

Why is my province missing beside a holiday?

As of November 2, 2026, this page has no verified list of statutory holidays for Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Yukon and Nunavut. The jurisdictions beside each holiday reflect the verified lists used here. Your province may recognize different statutory holidays, or its list may not yet be verified for this page. An omitted province alone does not establish whether you have time off.

Does this include holidays that fall during a weekend?

No. For 2027, this page lists 8 statutory holidays that fall on a Monday or Friday, with the first on Friday, January 1, 2027 and the last on Monday, October 11, 2027. The main long-weekend table includes only holidays that fall on a Monday or Friday; the four-day-weekend table covers Tuesday and Thursday holidays. A holiday falling within the weekend may involve a substitute day under the applicable rules, but that arrangement is separate from the selection shown here; check the relevant official guidance.

How should I read the Easter entries?

In 2027, Good Friday falls on Friday, March 26, 2027, and Easter Monday falls on Monday, March 29, 2027. Good Friday appears in the long-weekend table. Easter Monday does not appear because it is not on the statutory holiday lists compared here. A school calendar’s Easter closure does not by itself establish a statutory holiday for workplaces, and this table does not describe the full school break.
