Alberta Statutory Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: August 26, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026

Alberta observes 9 statutory holidays in 2027: 8 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 253 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 the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September) or Boxing Day as general holidays, so those two 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. Alberta grants no substitute weekday when a general holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, so Christmas Day 2027 and both New Year's Day and Canada Day 2028 stay on their Saturday dates and close no weekday. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
