If you are looking to plan your weekend getaways and family outings ahead of time this year, here is every statutory holiday you may have off for the rest of 2023.

Statutory holidays are public holidays that may entitle you to a paid day off work, depending on your profession and what province you live in.

In 2023, Ontario will have nine total statutory holidays, and lucky for Ontarians, quite a few will land on a Friday or Monday this year, so you can cash in on a handful of free long weekends or bump in pay if you have to work.

The next stat holiday will be Good Friday on Friday, April 7, according to Canada Holidays.

What are the stat holidays in Ontario 2023?

Here are all of the stat holidays in Ontario for 2023:

  • January 1, Sunday, New Year's Day
  • February 20, Monday, Family Day
  • April 7, Friday, Good Friday
  • May 22, Monday, Victoria Day
  • July 1, Saturday, Canada Day
  • September 4, Monday, Labour Day
  • October 9, Monday, Thanksgiving
  • December 25, Monday, Christmas Day
  • December 26, Tuesday, Boxing Day

Other notable holidays include Easter Monday on April 10, Civic Holiday on August 7, and Remembrance Day on November 11, which are not stat holidays in Ontario but depending on your employer, you may get them off.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation day will also come around on September 30 and this federal statutory holiday will shut down work for some federally regulated employees.
