Falling on a weekend in 2027: Christmas Day (Saturday, 25 Dec).
Not a public holiday in every province, but in British Columbia: Family Day, Victoria Day, British Columbia Day, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving Day and Remembrance Day.
For comparison: in 2027 the number of public holidays ranges from 8 (Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia) to 12 (British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon). British Columbia is among the provinces with the most public holidays.
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.
