Public Holidays in Canada: 2026–2028

Canada’s statutory holidays are set federally — New Year’s, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day and Christmas — but provinces add their own, like Family Day and St-Jean-Baptiste, so the list changes depending on where you are.

This page lists every public and bank holiday in Canada for 2026, 2027 and 2028 in one place. Use the month and year picker to jump to any month, or browse the whole year at a glance. Each entry shows the exact date, the weekday, the type of holiday and what it means for banks, offices, schools and shops.

Federal offices and banks close on statutory holidays. Provincial extras apply to provincially regulated workers; most retail follows provincial rules. The calendar is updated with substitute and observed days where they apply, and lunar dates are clearly marked as expected until officially confirmed.

Guide to public holidays in Canada

Federal and provincial holidays

Canada has federal statutory holidays that apply to federally regulated workplaces, such as banks, airlines and telecom companies. Each province and territory sets its own statutory holidays for everyone else, so the list depends on where you live.

Common holidays

New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day are observed across the country. Victoria Day, Thanksgiving and Boxing Day are widely observed, while Family Day in February is a holiday in several provinces.

Truth and Reconciliation

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on 30 September has been a federal holiday since 2021. Some provinces observe it as well, while others do not.
