每个省所定节日都有不同
Provincial and territorial holidays

Provinces and territories generally adopt the same holidays as the federal government with some variations:
[edit] Alberta

* Alberta - 5 nationwide and 4 provincial statutory holidays, as well as 3 "optional holidays".[5]
o Alberta Family Day - third Monday in February
o Easter Monday - optional
o Victoria Day - the Monday preceding May 25
o Heritage Day - first Monday of August, optional
o Thanksgiving - second Monday in October
o Remembrance Day - November 11
o Boxing Day - December 26, optional

[edit] British Columbia

* British Columbia - 5 nationwide and 4 provincial statutory holidays.[6]
o Victoria Day - last Monday before or on May 24
o British Columbia Day (aka BC Day) - first Monday of August
o Thanksgiving - second Monday of October
o Remembrance Day

[edit] Manitoba

* Manitoba - 5 nationwide and 3 provincial statutory holidays, as well as 2 optional holidays.[7] Remembrance Day and Boxing Day are not statutory holidays.
o Louis Riel Day - third Monday in February
o Victoria Day
o Civic Holiday - first Monday in August; not a statutory holiday.
o Thanksgiving
o Remembrance Day - an "Official day of Observance", not a statutory holiday.[8]

[edit] New Brunswick

* New Brunswick - New Year's Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.[9]

*
o New Brunswick Day - first Monday in August
o Remembrance Day

Although prescribed as public holidays, Victoria Day, Thanksgiving, and Boxing Day are not paid public holidays.[10]
[edit] Newfoundland and Labrador

* Newfoundland and Labrador - 5 nationwide and 1 provincial statutory holiday.[11] Thanksgiving is not a statutory holiday. Canada Day is co-celebrated with Memorial Day.
o Armistice Day
o St. Patrick's Day (March 17), St. George's Day (April 23), Discovery Day (Monday nearest June 24) and Orangemen's Day (July 12) have not been observed as statutory holidays since 1992. They are, however, observed by the provincial government.

Unlike most other provinces, there is no province-wide holiday on the first Monday in August. It may be seen as redundant due to the Royal St. John's Regatta, which is observed as a civic holiday in St. John's on the first Wednesday in August (or, in case of poor weather, the next suitable day thereafter). Harbour Grace has a similar holiday for its regatta in late July. All other municipalities are entitled to designate one day a year as a civic holiday, however many do not take advantage of this.
[edit] Northwest Territories

* Northwest Territories - 5 nationwide holidays and 5 territorial statutory holidays.
o Victoria Day
o National Aboriginal Day - June 21
o Civic Holiday - First Monday in August
o Remembrance Day
o Thanksgiving

[edit] Nova Scotia

* Nova Scotia - 5 nationwide holidays plus Remembrance Day. Victoria Day, Thanksgiving, and Boxing Day are not statutory holidays.
* Most statutory holidays can be substituted for a mutually agreeable alternative paid day off in lieu, or employers can require employees to work at a premium rate of pay. Several types of employment, including workplaces covered by a collective agreement, are exempt from provincial rules governing statutory holidays.[12][13]
o Remembrance Day - This holiday is governed separately from all other public holidays in Nova Scotia. It is illegal for any person to offer any goods or real property for sale on this date, or to accept or offer employment in exchange for gain or reward. There are special exemptions for workers who are employed in certain categories, but an alternative day off with pay must be offered in lieu.[14]
o Natal Day - first Monday in August; not a statutory holiday but a common day off.

[edit] Nunavut

* Nunavut - 5 nationwide and 4 territorial statutory holidays. Boxing Day is not a statutory holiday.
o Victoria Day
o Nunavut Day - July 9, originated as a paid holiday for Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated and regional Inuit associations. It became a ½ day holiday for Government employees in 1999 and a full day in 2001. Most employers give the day off with the notable exceptions being the Federal Government and the North West Company. Not a statutory holiday.
o Civic Holiday - first Monday in August.
o Thanksgiving
o Remembrance Day

[edit] Ontario

* Ontario - 5 nationwide and 4 provincial statutory holidays plus one common municipal holiday.
o Family Day - third Monday in February.

o Boxing Day

[edit] Prince Edward Island

o National Patriots' Day (French: Journée nationale des patriotes) coincides with Victoria Day.
o National Holiday of Quebec (French: Fête nationale du Québec) on June 24 coincides with the Midsummer (St. John the Baptist Day).
o Thanksgiving (French: L'Action de grâce)
o Construction Holiday (French: Vacances de la construction) takes place during the last two weeks of July — while it applies officially only to the construction industry, many other Quebecers arrange to take their vacations during these two weeks.

[edit] Saskatchewan

* Saskatchewan - 5 nationwide and 5 provincial statutory holidays.
o Family Day - third Monday in February
