Local calculation

The calculation uses Saturday and Sunday as the normal weekend. Federal holidays and provincial or territorial statutory holidays are not the same. A national list is a useful starting point, but employment rules must be checked for the relevant province.

Source and coverage

Calculated from stable statutory rules. Federal baseline used by this guide; provincial and territorial holidays differ.

Primary source: Government of Canada public-holiday calendar. Critical payroll, legal and travel dates should still be confirmed with the relevant local authority.
