Plan Your Breaks Wisely
Statutory holidays offer excellent opportunities to relax or spend time with loved ones. If you’re in a province with fewer public holidays, consider taking advantage of long weekends and combining vacation days to create extended breaks.
By keeping track of these holidays, you can make the most of 2025—whether you’re traveling, celebrating, or just enjoying some well-earned downtime.
