Where these dates come from

Official source: CNESST: Statutory holidays

Weekend rule: Canada Day and the Fête nationale move to Monday when they fall on a Sunday. For other holidays on a weekend, most employers give the next working day off.

Note: Employers choose Good Friday or Easter Monday. We count Good Friday.

Statutory holidays depend on your province or territory, and federally regulated workplaces (banks, airlines, telecoms) follow the Canada Labour Code. When a fixed-date holiday falls on a weekend, most employers give the next working day off; the exact rule depends on your employer.

Last checked: October 23, 2026

Employers can give extra days off, and some workers are covered by different rules. If a date matters for pay or a legal deadline, confirm it with your employer or the official source.
