Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 26, 2026
The 2026 table for Yukon lists 12 dates: 11 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend, and 1 of them is marked (observed) or (additional). That leaves 250 working days in 2026. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Yukon differs from the federal Canadian holidays
Yukon's statutory holidays, as yukon.ca lists them for 2026, are the federal set without Boxing Day, plus National Indigenous Peoples Day on 21 June and Discovery Day on the third Monday of August. Yukon.ca names Heritage Day, Easter Monday and Boxing Day as days that are not Yukon statutory holidays. Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day are kept. If a holiday falls on a non-working day, yukon.ca says the employee is entitled to a holiday on their next working day immediately following it. So in 2026 National Indigenous Peoples Day stays on Sunday 21 June and Monday 22 June is also counted; Christmas Day 2027 is counted on Monday 27 December; and in 2028 New Year's Day, Canada Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Remembrance Day are counted on Monday 3 January, 3 July, 2 October and 13 November.
