Frequently Asked Questions
What is Victoria Day in Canada?
Victoria Day is a federal holiday on the Monday preceding 25 May, celebrating the birthday of Queen Victoria. It is informally known as the "May Two-Four Weekend" (referring to both the 24th of May and a case of 24 beers). It marks the unofficial start of summer in Canada.
When is Canadian Thanksgiving?
Canadian Thanksgiving falls on the second Monday of October โ about six weeks earlier than American Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November). It involves similar traditions of family meals and gratitude, but is generally considered more low-key than the American version.
What is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?
The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (30 September, also known as Orange Shirt Day) was established as a federal holiday in 2021 to honour the survivors and lost children of the residential school system โ a historical system of government-funded, church-run schools where Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families.
Is Remembrance Day a holiday in all Canadian provinces?
Remembrance Day (11 November) is a federal statutory holiday, but it is not a provincial statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Manitoba. In those provinces, most employees still work on 11 November, though public ceremonies are still held.
Does Canada have Boxing Day?
Yes. Boxing Day (26 December) is a federal statutory holiday in Canada, inherited from the British tradition. It is widely observed with major retail sales. Some provinces designate it as a provincial holiday as well.
