Stat holidays 2026, 2027 and 2028 in British Columbia

The Province of British Columbia’s statutory holidays page lists a date for Thanksgiving Day in each of 2026 and 2027, but this page’s table leaves those dates out until they can be confirmed against an official date rule. The sources were last checked on October 27, 2026. The Employment Standards Act names these statutory holidays. The Family Day Act with its Family Day Regulation prescribes the third Monday of February for Family Day, and the British Columbia Day Act states the first Monday of August for B.C. Day. The table above dates those rows using these statutory rules, and the province’s published dates agree with them. Thanksgiving Day has no date rule in any statute read, so its row keeps the name without a date.
