Quebec public holidays and PTO planner
Quebec observes 8 statutory holidays under the Act respecting labour standards — fewer than Ontario's 9, since Quebec does not require Boxing Day and treats the spring holiday as an employer choice between Good Friday and Easter Monday, not both. In exchange, Quebec adds two holidays no other province has: National Patriots' Day and the Fête nationale (June 24).
Planning baseline—not an employer calendar. Confirm paid holidays and observed dates with your workplace before requesting leave.

Questions about this calendar
- Are all Quebec holidays guaranteed paid days off?
- No. Employers choose either Good Friday or Easter Monday as the statutory spring holiday, never both — confirm which one your workplace observes before optimizing. Remembrance Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are federally recognized but are not statutory holidays in Quebec. Always compare this calendar with your employment agreement and workplace calendar.
- Why can my observed holiday date be different?
- Weekend holidays, substitute days, collective agreements, and company policies can move the day you actually receive off. Add the date supplied by your employer as a Company Day Off before optimizing.
- How are the 10, 15, and 20-day PTO results calculated?
- They are generated by Holiday Optimizer's Balanced strategy for 2028, using a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek, the holiday dates on this page, and no pre-booked or company-specific days. Your personalized result can differ.
