Public offices, banks and schools throughout Canar close on the same fixed-date statutory holidays observed nationwide, since public holidays in Ecuador are a matter of national labor law rather than state-by-state decree.
When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Canar, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.
