Manitoba’s Employment Standards Code uses the term general holiday for the list presented across 2026, 2027 and 2028. It includes New Year’s Day, Louis Riel Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Thanksgiving dates come only from the Employment Standards branch’s published table, leaving the latest year without a date. Easter Sunday, Terry Fox Day and Boxing Day are excluded, while Remembrance Day has its own rules. School spring vacation information appears on a separate page.

Legal basis: The Employment Standards Code, section 21 (general holidays) (The Employment Standards Code, C.C.S.M. c. E110).

Common questions

Which Manitoba publication supplies the Thanksgiving dates shown here?

The confirmed dates for Thanksgiving Day are listed here: Monday, October 12, 2026; Monday, October 11, 2027. Manitoba’s Employment Standards branch publishes the Thanksgiving dates used in the yearly tables. The Code names Thanksgiving Day without giving a date rule, so the latest year remains undated. The basis column identifies the published support for the dated entries.

Does leaving Remembrance Day out mean Manitoba has no rules for it?

No. Remembrance Day has separate rules, although it is not a general holiday under Manitoba’s Employment Standards Code. Louis Riel Day and Orange Shirt Day, also called National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, are general holidays. Remembrance Day’s absence from this list does not determine an employee’s entitlement.

What time off does Manitoba provide for a holiday on a weekend an employee normally has off?

In 2027, one holiday on this list falls on a weekend: Christmas Day, Saturday, December 25, 2027. When a general holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday an employee does not normally work, Manitoba provides the next regular workday off with general holiday pay. The yearly tables show the holiday dates; the employee’s normal work schedule matters when applying this provision.
