It's time to start planning for the rest of the year!

The new year is here and if you're already keen to get planning vacations and weekend trips for 2023, you'll need to know when Alberta's stat holidays are.

Different provinces across Canada have different stat holidays. For example, while Remembrance Day is a stat holiday in Alberta and lots of people will be off work, Ontarians don't get the day off.

So if you're in Alberta, these are the stat holidays in 2023.
