Pick a province or territory and a month, and see the statutory holidays in that month, with the federal and provincial split stated plainly. Dates only — no advice on taking time off. Every date below was read from the official employment-standards pages on November 5, 2026.
Holiday dates last checked: November 5, 2026. Four jurisdictions publish dated tables (British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Yukon); the rest publish the holiday names and rules, and the dates shown are the calendar dates of those named holidays.
Each holiday is marked Provincial or Federal. Provincial holidays apply to provincially regulated workplaces in that province or territory. Federal holidays apply only to federally regulated workplaces — banks, airlines, telecoms, interprovincial transport, Canada Post, and the federal public service — wherever they are in Canada. If your employer is federally regulated, pick "Federally regulated workplaces", not your province: the lists differ. Quebec, for example, does not count Remembrance Day or the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as statutory holidays, while the federal list counts both.
When a statutory holiday falls on a weekend, the observed weekday follows the jurisdiction's rules — check the official page linked in the result. Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2027 both fall on a weekend.
Four jurisdictions publish dated tables, and their dates are shown exactly as published: British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Yukon. The other jurisdictions publish the holiday names and the rules that fix their dates (for example, the first Monday in September), and the dates shown are the calendar dates of those named holidays. Saskatchewan's 2027 table and Nova Scotia's 2027 table were not published on their official pages at the November 5, 2026 check, so those 2027 dates are the calendar dates of the officially named holidays, marked as such — recheck the official page. Nunavut shows only the 9 holidays confirmed by the Nunavut Labour Standards Board; whether Victoria Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are paid holidays in Nunavut is unconfirmed and they are not listed.

The federal list of ten general holidays under the Canada Labour Code is as stated in the Government of Canada Labour Bulletin (March 2026); the federal page itself would not open at the November 5, 2026 check (rate-limited). This page is rechecked when a jurisdiction publishes a new dated table, and any new date ships as a dated correction, never a silent edit.
