Public holidays in August 2026
No public holidays fall in August 2026 in Canada (federal).
When New Year's Day, Canada Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day or Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Canada Labour Code gives a paid day off on the scheduled work day immediately before or after it. These counts use the work day after; if your employer gives the day before, your total changes only when the two days fall in different months.
