Canada consists of 13 large administrative divisions – ten provinces and three territories. Each of them has its own history, holidays and memorable dates. Some are public, others are unofficial. Canadians have paid days off on public holidays.
Public holidays are divided into two types – regional and national. Regional holidays are celebrated in one or more provinces or territories. National holidays are celebrated throughout the country. It turns out that in Canada there are three types of holidays:
informal;
Regional state;
National government.
In this article, we will break down all holidays in Canada 2023. Below you will find lists of public holidays for each province and territory. They include both national and regional ones.
IMPORTANT! If a Canadian public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the holiday is moved. As a rule, it is the next Monday after the weekend. For example, in 2023 New Year falls on a Sunday. It is postponed to Monday, so January 2, 2023 is a day off.
