Regional holiday signals

Vendredi Saint (Good Friday), the Friday before Easter, is a local public holiday in municipalities with a Protestant church or mixed-denomination church.
2e jour de Noel / Saint-Etienne (St. Stephen's Day) on December 26 is a local public holiday.

Good Friday extends the Easter break to four consecutive days off (Friday through Monday) without using any leave.
December 26 can create a Christmas bridge, especially when December 25 falls mid-week.
