What this means for your leave
A holiday on a Tuesday or Thursday is worth far more than one on a Wednesday: a single leave day turns it into a four-day weekend.
Holidays that land on a Saturday or Sunday give you nothing extra — worth knowing before you plan.
Best months to plan around
August is the strongest month to plan around.
How to get the most out of these dates
Book the bridge days first. They are the cheapest days off you will ever take.
Check whether Canada moves holidays that fall on a weekend to the following Monday — not every country does.
