I work for a non-profit, who provides services to other non-profit organizations. The CEO tries to get the personnel committee to have an extra day off whenever holidays like Canada Land on a Tuesday or Thursday, so we can have the extra long weekend. Doesn't always happen, but usually does. This year I get a 4-day weekend. However, I'm the IT guy, and I'm on-call that weekend. I don't have to be on-call for Canada Day, but I do have to be available on that Friday.

Aside from non-profit, I've never worked for a place that would do the same. There are places out there who may do so, but its not common to give the extra day off.
