Yukon Business Day Calculator

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

Calculate business days in Yukon with its own statutory holidays. Yukon shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Canada, but its statutory holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the federal count.

How Yukon differs from the federal Canadian holidays

Yukon runs eleven statutory holidays under the Employment Standards Act. It adds National Indigenous Peoples Day on 21 June (statutory in Yukon since 2017) and Discovery Day on the third Monday of August, and it does not treat Boxing Day as a statutory holiday, so that federal day is dropped. Yukon keeps Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving, and Remembrance Day. National Indigenous Peoples Day stays on 21 June; in 2026 that lands on a Sunday, so it does not change the working-day count that year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.

Worked example

Adding 2 business days to Friday, August 14, 2026 using Yukon's statutory holidays lands on Wednesday, August 19, 2026. With the federal Canadian holidays, the same calculation lands on Tuesday, August 18, 2026: the gap comes from Yukon's own calendar.

Yukon statutory holidays in 2026

Date	Day	Statutory holiday	Notes

May 18	Monday	Victoria Day	Victoria Day on Monday May 18 produces a three-day weekend with the immediately preceding Saturday and Sunday.
June 21	Sunday (weekend)	National Indigenous Peoples Day
June 22	Monday	National Indigenous Peoples Day (observed)	National Indigenous Peoples Day (observed) on Monday June 22 produces a three-day weekend with the immediately preceding Saturday and Sunday.
