National Indigenous Peoples Day (Sunday, June 21) and Boxing Day (Saturday, December 26) fall on a weekend in 2026. There is no national substitute day: each jurisdiction has its own rule, and most depend on whether the day is a normal working day for the employee.

Federal (federally regulated) A general holiday on a non-working day gives a holiday with pay on the working day before or after it (Canada Labour Code s. 193(2); the employer picks the day). Source Source
Alberta Holiday pay and a day off only when the holiday falls on a regular day of work (or the employee works it); nothing is moved. Source
British Columbia Not moved: a qualifying employee gets an average day’s pay; another day off only by agreement. Source
Manitoba A general holiday on a Saturday or Sunday the employee does not normally work gives the next regular workday off with general holiday pay. Source
New Brunswick A paid public holiday on a non-working day gives another working day off with pay, or a regular day’s pay if the employee agrees. Source
Newfoundland and Labrador The employee may not be required to work on the first working day after it (Labour Standards Act s. 16). Source
Nova Scotia Another day off with pay: the next working day, the working day after the employee’s vacation, or another agreed day. Source
Ontario A substitute holiday (a working day off with public holiday pay) within three months, or public holiday pay if the employee agrees in writing. Source
Prince Edward Island A paid day off on another day: the next scheduled working day, the first working day after vacation, or another agreed day. Source
Quebec The employer pays a statutory holiday indemnity or gives a compensatory day off on an agreed date. Source
Saskatchewan A public holiday on a Saturday is not moved. Where the business is normally closed on Sundays, New Year’s Day, Christmas Day or Remembrance Day on a Sunday is observed on the Monday. Source
Northwest Territories Holiday pay is owed whether or not the holiday falls on a working day; no other day off is set (Employment Standards Act s. 22). Source
Nunavut Holiday pay, or a paid day off at a time convenient to the employer and the employee before the next annual vacation (Labour Standards Act s. 25(2)). Source
Yukon Yukon’s page could not be checked (reference): payroll references give the next working day off; see the Employment Standards Act. Source Source

It depends on where you work: 10 in federally regulated workplaces, 9 in Alberta, 11 in British Columbia, 9 in Manitoba, 8 in New Brunswick, 6 in Newfoundland and Labrador, 6 in Nova Scotia, 9 in Ontario, 8 in Prince Edward Island, 8 in Quebec, 10 in Saskatchewan, 11 in Northwest Territories, 11 in Nunavut and 11 in Yukon. 5 are stat holidays everywhere: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day.

9: New Year’s Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. The Civic Holiday (August), Easter Monday and Remembrance Day are not public holidays under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, although many employers give them.

11: New Year’s Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, British Columbia Day, Labour Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day and Christmas Day. Easter Monday and Boxing Day are not statutory holidays in B.C.

Family Day is Monday, February 16, 2026: a stat holiday in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Saskatchewan. The same day is Louis Riel Day in Manitoba, Nova Scotia Heritage Day in Nova Scotia and Islander Day in Prince Edward Island. It is not a stat holiday in Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, the territories or federally regulated workplaces.

On Wednesday, September 30, 2026 it is a statutory holiday for federally regulated workplaces, British Columbia, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon. In Alberta it is an optional general holiday; in Saskatchewan it is not a public holiday; in the other provinces it depends on the employer.

No. Remembrance Day (November 11) is not a public holiday under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, nor in Quebec; Manitoba and Nova Scotia have their own Remembrance Day Acts. It is a stat holiday for federally regulated workplaces, Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon.

Christmas Day (Friday, December 25) is a stat holiday everywhere. Boxing Day falls on a Saturday: federally regulated employees get a holiday with pay on the working day before or after it, and Ontario gives a substitute day. In the other provinces and territories Boxing Day is not a stat holiday.

Easter Monday (Monday, April 6) is not a statutory holiday anywhere in Canada. In Quebec the employer may give it instead of Good Friday (Friday, April 3); in Alberta it is an optional general holiday; federal public servants and many employers get it off.

Clocks go forward one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 8 and back one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026 in most of Canada. Saskatchewan does not change its clocks, and Yukon stays on UTC−7 all year.

March Break dates are set by each province’s education ministry and school boards, not by employment standards, so they are not on this calendar. Check your school board’s calendar.

All sources checked October 8, 2026

Holiday dates come from the employment standards of the federal government and each province and territory (laws and official pages linked below; the Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island pages were checked in a browser on October 8, 2026). The layout, the PDFs, the working days and the long-weekend ideas are made by ToolNeko: this is not a government publication.

Stat holidays are the private-sector minimum of each jurisdiction; federally regulated workplaces follow the Canada Labour Code. Working days: Monday to Friday minus the stat holidays on weekdays; a stat holiday on a weekend is not subtracted (the substitute day depends on the jurisdiction and the employer). Squares mark days an official page names but that are not stat holidays. Dates are computed from each law’s rule and checked against every official date table: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, the CRA and the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly calendars.

Daylight saving time 2026: clocks go forward one hour at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 8 and back on Sunday, November 1 in most of Canada (Ontario Time Act); Saskatchewan does not change its clocks and Yukon stays on UTC−7.

Status words: “provisional” marks the Newfoundland and Labrador government days, taken from the House of Assembly calendar until the province publishes its list; “reference” marks Yukon’s own days, which come from two independent payroll sources because Yukon’s page could not be checked (the statute is linked).
