Patriots' Day is not a federal holiday in Canada, nor is it observed in Quebec. The term "Patriots' Day" most commonly refers to a holiday celebrated in a few U.S. states (primarily Massachusetts and Maine) on the third Monday of April, commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
Quebec does observe a distinct holiday with a similar historical spirit but a different name and legal status: the Journe nationale des patriotes (National Patriots' Day). This holiday is celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25th, coinciding with Victoria Day in the rest of Canada. It commemorates the patriotes of the 1837-1838 Rebellions in Lower Canada (present-day Quebec) against British colonial rule. Importantly, National Patriots' Day is a provincial statutory holiday in Quebec, meaning it is legally recognized and observed only within the province of Quebec, not as a federal holiday across all of Canada.
Therefore, while Quebec has a holiday honouring historical figures who fought for greater autonomy, it is National Patriots' Day, a provincial observance, and not the American Patriots' Day or a Canadian federal holiday. The legal and geographic scopes of these holidays are distinct.
