CCQ 2027 calendar · statutory holidays and breaks
The complete Québec construction calendar for 2027.
One page for the whole year: the eight statutory holidays, the two mandatory holiday periods, and where the CCQ's published annual calendar stands. The dates come from the collective agreements (R-20 Act), sourced from the CCQ and the APCHQ.
The answer
All 10 dates of 2027, in order.
Statutory holidays and annual holiday periods, from one end of the year to the other. In 2027, every statutory holiday falls outside the two holiday periods.

| Monday, March 29, 2027 | Easter Monday | Statutory holiday — if worked, paid as overtime |
| Monday, May 24, 2027 | National Patriots’ Day | Statutory holiday — if worked, paid as overtime |

Annual holidays
Two two-week periods in 2027.
Fourteen days each, Sunday to Saturday inclusive, mandatory across the whole industry covered by the Act.
Summer 2027
From Sunday, July 25 to Saturday, August 7, 2027, inclusive.
The 2027 winter break ends on Saturday, August 7, 2027 — 2028 opens with sites back at work.
Winter 2027-2028
From Sunday, December 19, 2027 to Saturday, January 1, 2028, inclusive.
The 2027 winter break ends on Saturday, January 1, 2028 — 2028 opens with sites back at work.
The why and how — vacation pay, keeping work going, making up the days — is covered on the construction holiday page.
The official document
The CCQ's annual calendar.
Every year the CCQ publishes a PDF "Calendrier de l'industrie de la construction": pay periods, card validity, administrative dates. Usually in the fall for the following year.
As of September 19, 2026, the 2027 edition of that calendar had not yet been published — the 2026 PDF is live on ccq.org, the 2027 one is not. Nothing is invented here: the dates on this page are the ones the CCQ already publishes on its holidays page, cross-checked against the APCHQ.
When the 2027 edition comes out, it will be the document to check for pay periods and administrative dates — the holiday and statutory dates are already fixed and will not change.
