British Columbia Statutory Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026

The 2027 table for British Columbia lists 11 dates: 10 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend. That leaves 251 working days in 2027. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How British Columbia differs from the federal Canadian holidays

British Columbia's statutory holidays, as the province lists them, are the federal Canadian set with two additions and one omission. It adds Family Day in February and B.C. Day in August, and Boxing Day is not a statutory holiday in B.C. (nor are Easter Sunday and Easter Monday), so that federal day is dropped from a BC count. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on 30 September and Remembrance Day are on the list. The province gives no substitute weekday when a statutory holiday falls on a weekend: it lists Christmas Day 2027 on Saturday 25 December. Employers and employees may agree in writing to substitute another day, so in this count a Saturday or Sunday holiday stays on its date and closes no weekday.
