Here's Every Stat Holiday In Alberta For 2023 So You Can Make The Most Of Your Time Off

It's time to start planning for the rest of the year!

Creator

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.

Canada Day

Fire up the BBQ for Canada Day on July 1, 2023. Lots of places will have events and firework displays over the weekend.

Labour Day

As summer draws to a close, the next long weekend is Labour Day September 4, 2023.

Thanksgiving

This year, turkey day is on October 9 and remember, if you need to hit the grocery store, some might have different hours.

Remembrance Day

In Alberta, Remembrance Day is a stat holiday and it's on November 11, 2023.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day is also a stat holiday in the Princess Province and as always, that falls on December 25.

In addition to stat holidays, there are four other optional holidays that some employers in Alberta observe.

These holidays include Easter Monday (April 10, 2023), Heritage Day (August 7, 2023), National Day For Truth & Reconciliation (November 30, 2023) and Boxing Day (December 26, 2023).
