About this calendar
In 2026, Canada observes 31 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with St. Stephen's Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Canada works Monday to Friday, and statutory holidays differ noticeably between provinces. When a holiday lands on a weekend, federally regulated workers generally get the next working day off.
