British Columbia Public Holidays
This page contains a calendar of all 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 statutory and provincial holidays for British Columbia.
British Columbia celebrates ten statutory holidays throughout the province. On these holidays, schools, businesses and offices are closed to allow employees to celebrate with their friends and families.
