Public Holidays in Canada 2027: Full List and Long Weekends

Canada has a mix of federal statutory holidays and provincial ones. Not every holiday applies in every province, so always check your provincial rules.

National holidays

New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day are observed nationwide. Victoria Day, Thanksgiving and Boxing Day are observed in most provinces.

Provincial differences

Family Day in February is a holiday in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and several others. Quebec observes Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on 24 June.

Long weekends

Since most Canadian holidays fall on Mondays, you get a three-day weekend almost every month from May to October.
