Here’s how you can get the most out of your holiday time in Canada this year.

　　Use National Holidays to Your Advantage

　　To enjoy the longest possible stretches of free time, try adding your personal time off to nationally-celebrated holidays to create longer weekend breaks.

　　The Best Days to Take Off

　　1、January 2: Add to New Year’s Day (January 1) to create a 2-day break before the weekend.

　　2、April 17 or 21: Add to Good Friday (April 18) for a 4-day weekend.

　　3、In some provinces and territories, Easter Monday on April 21 is a statutory or de-facto holiday, so you can take off April 17 or April 22 for a 5-day weekend.

　　4、June 30: Add to Canada Day (July 1) to create a 4-day weekend.

　　5、August 29 or September 2: Add to Labour Day (September 1) for a 4-day weekend.

　　6、December 26: Add to Christmas Day (December 25) to create a 4-day break. In some provinces and territories, Boxing Day on December 26 is a statutory or de-facto holiday, so you can take off December 24 or December 29 to create a 5-day weekend.

　　In addition, regional holidays such as Victoria Day, Thanksgiving, and Remembrance Day provide good opportunities for extended time off in areas where those holidays are observed.
