Stat holidays 2027 Canada: province by province
The Canadian holidays 2027 that apply to you depend on your province and on whether your employer is federally regulated. Only five holidays are statutory in every province and territory: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day and Christmas Day. The rest depend on where you work. These provincial holidays are the ones most people ask about:
| Date | Holiday | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, February 15 | Family Day | Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Saskatchewan |
| Monday, February 15 | Louis Riel Day, Islander Day, Heritage Day | Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia |
| Monday, March 29 | Easter Monday | Federal public service; in Quebec, employers give Good Friday or Easter Monday |
| Monday, May 24 | National Patriots’ Day | Quebec (the same day as Victoria Day) |
| Monday, June 21 | National Indigenous Peoples Day | Northwest Territories and Yukon |
| Thursday, June 24 | Fête nationale (Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day) | Quebec |
| Friday, July 9 | Nunavut Day | Nunavut |
| Monday, August 2 | Civic Holiday (BC Day, Saskatchewan Day, New Brunswick Day and others) | Statutory in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut; a common day off elsewhere |
| Monday, August 16 | Discovery Day | Yukon |
Remembrance Day is not a statutory holiday in Ontario or Quebec, and Boxing Day is a statutory holiday only in Ontario and for federally regulated employers. Wikipedia’s public holidays in Canada table shows each province side by side. Always check your provincial employment standards office for pay rules.

Canada holidays 2027 and your pay
When a general holiday falls on a day you would normally work, federally regulated employees get the day off with holiday pay, and anyone who has to work it is paid at least time and a half plus holiday pay. When a holiday falls on a day off, such as a Saturday, the holiday moves to a working day next to it. That is why the 2027 list includes December 27 and 28. Provincial rules on eligibility, such as having worked a set number of days before the holiday, vary, so payroll teams should mark both the federal and the provincial list on their calendar at the start of the year.
Schools follow provincial calendars rather than the Canada statutory holidays 2027 list, so they also close for winter and spring breaks that are not holidays for working parents. Mark the school dates next to the Canadian holidays 2027 on one printed calendar to see which days need childcare.
