Hello,
I am a provincially regulated Manitoban employer. I know the Manitoba government put forward a bill to make Sept. 30 a general holiday. Does this essentially mean that it will be passed? I wasn’t sure how likely it was or if this could change but am trying to plan ahead.
Thanks

In Manitoba, as of June 6, 2024, Truth and Reconciliation Day is a holiday with optional observance; like Boxing Day, it is not an official stat day and at the business’/organization’s discretion whether or not to observe it.

There is currently a bill in front of the House to make T&R Day an official stat holiday, but this not received royal assent as of this date.

To date, no jurisdiction that has tabled a similar bill has NOT approved it.
