Most provinces haven’t published their 2027 calendars yet, so these dates follow each holiday’s legal rule (for example “third Monday in February”). They are the dates normally used, but check with your employer for substitute days.
“Not statutory” days are widely given but aren’t paid holidays under this province’s employment standards law. When a statutory holiday falls on a day off, workers usually get another day off or holiday pay; the substitute date shown is the one governments commonly use.
