I went away for the Family Day long weekend and did not get back in time to go to work on Tuesday. I did not phone in and now my boss says I cannot get paid for the holiday. Is that right?

Yes. Your boss does not have to pay you for the holiday if you are away from the job without his consent on the last working day before or the first working day after the holiday.

He also does not have to pay you if you do not work on a holiday when you have been asked or scheduled to do so.
