# Public holidays in Canada, 2027

URL: https://gocutline.com/holidays/canada-2027/

Canada has 6 national public holidays in 2027, and 5 of them fall on working days, which leaves 256 working days in the year. The first is New Year's Day on January 1, and the last is Christmas Day (observed) on December 27.

## How holidays work in Canada
Most statutory holidays in Canada are set by each province and territory, so only a handful apply everywhere. Federally regulated workplaces, such as banks and airlines, follow a federal list.

## Every public holiday in Canada in 2027
| Date | Day | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Jan 1 | Friday | New Year's Day |
| Mar 26 | Friday | Good Friday |
| Jul 1 | Thursday | Canada Day |
| Sep 6 | Monday | Labor Day |
| Dec 25 | Saturday | Christmas Day |
| Dec 27 | Monday | Christmas Day (observed) |

That is more than 1 of the 61 countries we list, and fewer than 59. 1 day lands on the weekend in 2027.
