British Columbia Statutory Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026

British Columbia observes 11 statutory holidays in 2027: 11 fall on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend, leaving 250 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 British Columbia differs from the federal Canadian holidays

British Columbia follows the federal Canadian holidays and adds two of its own under the Employment Standards Act: Family Day on the third Monday of February and British Columbia Day on the first Monday of August. BC observes the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (a provincial statutory holiday since 2023) and Remembrance Day, but it does not treat Easter Monday or Boxing Day as statutory holidays, so those two federal days are dropped from a BC count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
