On this page you will find general information and details about holidays in Canada for 2023.

Canada Day will be on Saturday. Most Monday to Friday businesess will give Friday off in lieu but if you normally work on Saturdays you should check with your employer about this day to avoid any surprises.

Easter in 2023 is on April 7 (Good Friday) and Easter Sunday is on April 9 - approximately halfway between Family Day and Victoria Day.

Remembrance Day will be on a weekend so this year everyone can join events to commemmorate members of the armed forces - even in Ontario where this is still not an statutory holiday.

Christmas in 2023 is on a weekday: Christmas day is on a Monday and Boxing Day following on Tuesday. This makes planning for the holidays easier - other years when Christmas is on a weekend there tends to be some discussion and even confusion around which days are paid days off.

As of 2021 the new National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is observed on September 30, which is a Saturday this year. Ever since this holiday was introduced it took over as the most controversial holiday as it's for federally regulated employees only. (Remembrance day is close second because it's not a holiday in Ontario.)
