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.
