> I think he took Mondays off […]

I'm not sure if I'd gone with that given that there are a number of statutory holidays on Monday: if you take Fridays off then there'd be times when you only have three-day weeks.

Where I'm at we have Victoria Day, Civic/Simcoe Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving:

Throw in Family Day for Ontario.

Plenty of floating days as well of course (July 1, December 25).

Ah yeah but I can't remember the exact details, could be that he stacked an extra day onto his weekend in those cases. Thinking about it though, even if he "lost" a public holiday that's still a really nice amount of free time all things considered :D

That sort of thing is very country-specific - in the UK, for example, all bank holidays (except 25-26 December), are set by law on Monday or Friday. That's not the case in most European countries.
