Not a public holiday in every province, but in Ontario: Family Day, Victoria Day, Thanksgiving Day, Boxing Day and Boxing Day (observed).
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). Ontario lies in between with 11.
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.
