Canada Travel Guide

Banks, schools and government buildings all over the country close on Canada's national holidays , and within specific regions on the provincial holidays that fall on certain - often moveable - days throughout the year. Many shops, restaurants, museums and sights remain open, however. Campsites, smaller information centres, B&Bs and many resort hotels often use Victoria Day and Labour Day or Thanksgiving as markers for their open and closed seasons. University students have their holidays from May to early September (plus a one- or two-week break in March), while schoolchildren take theirs from the end of June to Labour Day.
