Notes & Sources

  1. Government of Canada, statutory holidays: canada.ca. The 10 general holidays are designated under the Canada Labour Code and apply to federally regulated workplaces.
  2. Boxing Day (26 Dec 2026) falls on a Saturday. For employees whose workweek excludes Saturdays, the holiday moves to the next working day, Mon 28 Dec, which is shaded in the calendar below.
  3. Coverage here is federal. Provinces and territories designate their own statutory holidays, which add to or differ from this list (for example Family Day, St-Jean-Baptiste Day and the August civic holiday); the federal public service additionally observes Easter Monday.
