What Closes on Canada Public Holidays 2026?

Canada public holidays affect work, banks, schools, and mail in different ways. Use the calendar dates above first, then check the rule that matches the service you need: federal workplace, bank branch, school board, or Canada Post.

Federal employees

Federal public servants should start with the designated paid holiday list for their workplace.

  • 2026 federal dates include Jan 1, Apr 3, Apr 6, May 18, Jul 1, Sep 7, Sep 30, Oct 12, Nov 11, Dec 25, and Dec 26.
  • One provincial or civic holiday may also apply based on work location.
  • Weekend observance, holiday-work pay, and substitute-day rules can depend on the applicable agreement.

Banks

Bank closures usually follow national holidays, with regional differences by province.

  • National planning dates include Jan 1, Apr 3, May 18, Jul 1, Sep 7, Sep 30, Oct 12, Nov 11, Dec 25, and Dec 28.
  • Regional dates can include Family Day on Feb 16, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on Jun 24 in Quebec, and Civic Holiday on Aug 3.
  • Online banking may still work, but deposits, transfers, payroll files, and payment processing can be delayed.

Schools

School closures are not set by one Canada-wide holiday list.

  • Check the province, territory, district, or school-board calendar for the exact school closure.
  • School calendars may include statutory holidays, winter break, spring break, professional activity days, and board-specific dates.
  • For planning childcare or travel, confirm the date with the local school board.

Post offices and mail

Canada Post holiday rules can depend on whether the holiday is national, provincial, or territorial.

  • Canada Post says it closes on national, provincial, and territorial holidays.
  • There is no regular mail collection or delivery on those closure days.
  • Private-sector postal outlets may follow the host business's hours, so confirm local counter service before visiting.
