Public holidays in August 2026
| Date | Holiday | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Monday 3 August 2026 | British Columbia Day |
In British Columbia, a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a fixed weekday: an eligible employee gets statutory holiday pay, and the employer does not have to give another day off. These counts therefore subtract no substitute weekday; if your employer gives you one, count one working day fewer. The moves fixed by law are counted: Canada Day moves to 2 July when 1 July is a Sunday.
