Holidays in Canada

Every public holiday and popular observance in Canada, with dates, days left, days off and a live countdown to each one.

Dates follow each holiday's official rule. Governments occasionally move or add holidays, so check official sources before making plans.

Canada has federal statutory holidays, which apply to federally regulated workplaces, and provincial holidays, which cover most other workers. The two lists overlap but are not identical, so whether a day is a paid holiday depends on your province and employer. The days marked as public holidays below are federal statutory holidays.
