Negotiations for the new collective agreements are underway, but it’s impossible to know when an agreement will be reached. But we do know that you need to start planning your holidays for the coming year! Thankfully, we have confirmed the dates for 2025’s public holidays and annual vacation periods.

Summer construction holidays 🌞
All construction sites will be closed from July 20 to August 2, 2025. This two-week pause gives all workers a chance to take a well-deserved break and enjoy the beautiful summer days.
Winter construction holidays ❄️
Over winter, work sites will be closed from December 21, 2025, to January 3, 2026. This is a great opportunity to spend time with your family and celebrate the festive season with complete peace of mind.
We don’t yet know which dates will be included in our new collective agreements (2026 to 2029 ) for the years after that. Negotiations can take a long time, but by sticking together, we’re confident that we can keep things moving forward and all come out on top! We’ll let you know as soon as additional dates are confirmed.
