Alberta Statutory Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Alberta observes 9 statutory holidays in 2027: 9 fall on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend, leaving 252 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Canada; what changes is the statutory holiday set.
How Alberta differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Alberta follows the federal Canadian holidays and adds Family Day on the third Monday of February under the Employment Standards Code. Alberta keeps Remembrance Day as a general holiday but does not treat Easter Monday, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September), or Boxing Day as general holidays, so those three federal days are dropped from an Alberta count. Heritage Day on the first Monday of August is an optional day rather than a general holiday, so it is left out of the count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
