Long Weekends in Canada: Common Questions
When are the long weekends in Canada in 2027?
Across most of Canada the 2027 long weekends are New Year's Day (Jan 1 to 3), Good Friday (Mar 26 to 28), Victoria Day (May 22 to 24), Labour Day (Sep 4 to 6) and Thanksgiving (Oct 9 to 11). Provinces add their own, such as Family Day on Feb 13 to 15 and the August civic holiday in some provinces. Pick your province below for exact dates.
Do all provinces have the same long weekends?
No. Family Day in February is observed in most provinces but not Quebec or Newfoundland and Labrador, and it goes by other names in Manitoba (Louis Riel Day), Nova Scotia (Heritage Day) and Prince Edward Island (Islander Day). Victoria Day is not a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick or Newfoundland and Labrador, and the August civic holiday is statutory only in some provinces and territories.
What is the best long weekend for a trip?
It depends on where you want to go. February and the Easter weekend suit a quick trip south, while Victoria Day, Canada Day and Labour Day suit road trips and domestic flights. Long weekends are also the busiest travel dates, so compare prices and book early.
How do I get a four-day weekend with one vacation day?
Look for a statutory holiday that lands on a Tuesday or Thursday. Booking the Monday or Friday beside it gives four days off in a row. In 2027, Canada Day falls on a Thursday, so Friday, July 2 is the day to book anywhere in Canada.
