Canadian statutory holidays by province, 2026
Canada has no single national holiday calendar. Each province and territory sets its own statutory holidays, so the dates — and even which days count — differ. On top of that, a set of federal holidays applies to federally-regulated workplaces everywhere. Pick your province or territory for its 2026 dates.
