General holidays

General holidays are sometimes referred to as statutory holidays or stat holidays. In Manitoba, there are eight general holidays throughout the year: New Year's Day; Louis Riel Day; Good Friday; Victoria Day; Canada Day; Labour Day; Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Easter, the August Civic Holiday, Remembrance Day and Boxing Day are not general holidays. Although Remembrance Day is not a general holiday, there are restrictions for operating businesses and special requirements for paying employees who work that day.
