Book one vacation day on Friday, July 2 to turn Memorial Day (Thursday, July 1) into a four-day break from Jul 1 to 4. The same trick works for Nov 11 to 14 (Remembrance Day).
What happens when a holiday falls on a weekend in Newfoundland and Labrador?
In 2027, Christmas Day falls on a Saturday (December 25). Where the paid day off moves to depends on your employer and on provincial employment standards, so confirm with your employer before you book.
What is the best way to use a long weekend to travel from Newfoundland and Labrador?
Book early, because long weekends are the busiest and most expensive travel dates. Compare the same trip across Canadian travel sites in CAD, check which airport you fly from, and look at a flexible-date calendar, since leaving a day earlier or returning a day later can change the price a lot.
