Planning leave around 2028's federal holidays
9 of the 11 federal holidays in 2028 fall on a Monday or Friday, giving long weekends without using any annual leave. Booking leave next to a federal holiday stretches it further: taking the days between two holidays can turn a few days of leave into a much longer break.
