The public holidays subdivision of The Saskatchewan Employment Act provides the list used here for 2026, 2027 and 2028. It names New Year’s Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Saskatchewan Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day and Christmas Day. Thanksgiving dates are shown only when published by an official provincial source; no date is shown yet for the latest year in the table. The basis column distinguishes the Employment Standards list from the public service commission’s designated-holidays policy. Easter Monday, Boxing Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are outside this provincial list.

Legal basis: The Saskatchewan Employment Act, section 2-30 (public holidays) (The Saskatchewan Employment Act, S.S. 2013, c. S-15.1).

Common questions

What explains the gap in Saskatchewan’s latest Thanksgiving entry?

The confirmed dates for Thanksgiving Day are listed here: Monday, October 12, 2026; Monday, October 11, 2027. The Saskatchewan Employment Act gives date rules for Family Day and Saskatchewan Day, but not Thanksgiving Day. No official provincial date is published for the latest Thanksgiving year shown. The yearly tables leave that entry undated, while the basis column identifies the sources for earlier dates.

Does Saskatchewan’s provincial list include National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a federal statutory holiday, but it is not a public holiday under The Saskatchewan Employment Act. Easter Monday and Boxing Day are also outside the provincial list. The table above follows that provincial scope. For 2027, the verified list includes 10 statutory holidays with confirmed dates, from Friday, January 1, 2027 to Saturday, December 25, 2027.

When does Saskatchewan observe a Sunday holiday on Monday?

In 2027, one holiday on this list falls on a weekend: Christmas Day, Saturday, December 25, 2027. For businesses normally closed on Sunday, the provincial guidance provides Monday observance when New Year’s Day, Christmas Day or Remembrance Day falls on Sunday. It also says a Saturday public holiday is not observed on another day. Read the yearly tables alongside those conditions rather than applying a single rule to every weekend holiday.
