In 2026, no public holiday falls on a weekend – each one is an extra day off.
Not a public holiday in every province, but in Manitoba: Louis Riel Day, Victoria Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Thanksgiving Day.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 7 (Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia) to 11 (British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon). Manitoba lies in between with 9.
Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
