Public Holidays in Canada 2026

Canada has only a handful of statutory holidays that apply nationwide under federal law, but each province and territory adds several of its own — meaning a worker in Quebec, Ontario, and Newfoundland could all have noticeably different calendars in the same year. Names like "Family Day," "Civic Holiday," and "Heritage Day" are often the same date wearing a different regional label. Below is the full 2026 Canadian holiday calendar, covering both nationwide statutory holidays and the major provincial observances.

Holiday dates sourced from the Nager.Date public holiday API and cross-checked annually. Regional and subnational holidays may not apply to every worker in Canada — always confirm with your employer or local authority for time-off purposes.
