Saskatchewan Statutory Holidays 2026

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

Saskatchewan observes 10 statutory holidays in 2026: 10 fall on a weekday and 0 land on a weekend, leaving 251 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 Saskatchewan differs from the federal Canadian holidays

Saskatchewan runs ten public holidays under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. It adds Family Day on the third Monday of February and Saskatchewan Day on the first Monday of August, neither of which is in the federal set. Saskatchewan does not observe Easter Monday, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September), or Boxing Day as public holidays, so a count built on the Saskatchewan calendar drops those three federal days. Victoria Day, Thanksgiving, and Remembrance Day are kept. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
