About local holidays
Canadian holidays are split between federal and provincial. Five are nationwide: New Year, Good Friday, Canada Day (July 1st), Labour Day, Christmas. Quebec adds Saint-Jean-Baptiste (June 24, the Québécois national day) and Patriots' Day in May. Canadian Thanksgiving falls on the 2nd Monday of October — earlier than the US because harvests end sooner. September 30 (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) has honoured Indigenous peoples and residential-school survivors since 2021.
