The new year is here and if you're already keen to get planning vacations and weekend trips for 2023, you'll need to know when Alberta's stat holidays are.

Different provinces across Canada have different stat holidays. For example, while Remembrance Day is a stat holiday in Alberta and lots of people will be off work, Ontarians don't get the day off.

So if you're in Alberta, these are the stat holidays in 2023.

Family Day

February 20, 2023, marks Family Day in Alberta so it's the perfect time to hang out with your loved ones.

Good Friday

Easter weekend kicks off with Good Friday on April 7, 2023, and you'll be able to enjoy a long weekend of Easter egg hunts and hopefully some spring weather.

Victoria Day

Here's to hoping the snow has started to melt so you can spend some time outdoors on Victoria Day, which in 2023 falls on May 22.
