Yukon Statutory Holidays 2027

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

Yukon 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 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 Easter Monday or Boxing Day as statutory holidays, so those two federal days are 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.
