Quebec Statutory Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: August 26, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026
Quebec observes 8 statutory holidays in 2027: 7 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 254 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 Quebec differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Quebec keeps the most distinct statutory calendar in Canada under the Act respecting labour standards. It replaces Victoria Day with the Journée nationale des patriotes on the same Monday and adds the Fête nationale du Québec (Saint-Jean-Baptiste) on 24 June. Quebec law grants either Good Friday or Easter Monday at the employer's choice; this calculator counts Good Friday, the day banks and markets close nationwide. Boxing Day, Remembrance Day, and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are not Quebec statutory holidays, so they are dropped from a Quebec count. Quebec grants no substitute weekday when a statutory holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday. The employer owes either an indemnity or a compensatory day on a date agreed with the employee, and neither is a fixed closure, so Christmas Day 2027 and both New Year's Day and Canada Day 2028 stay on their Saturday dates. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
