Civic Holiday 2027
Monday, August 2, 2027 (Monday). This evergreen page always shows the next upcoming occurrence — after the date passes, it rolls forward automatically on rebuild.
“Civic Holiday” usually means the first Monday of August in several Canadian provinces and municipalities. For 2027 that date is Monday, August 2, 2027. It is widely treated as a summer long weekend — but it is not a uniform federal holiday across Canada.
Local names differ: Ontario often calls it Simcoe Day (or a municipal civic holiday), British Columbia observes BC Day, Alberta has Heritage Day, and other provinces use their own labels or may not observe a holiday at all. Saskatchewan and some Atlantic regions differ — always confirm your province and employer.
Because federal status is inconsistent, banks and federal offices may remain open while provincial offices and schools close. Put Monday, August 2, 2027 on your calendar with a note for your jurisdiction rather than assuming a Canada-wide shutdown.
How the date is calculated
Common rule used here: first Monday of August. 2027 resolves to Monday, August 2, 2027. This matches the widespread provincial civic / BC Day / Heritage Day pattern — verify local naming and whether your area observes it. See also the 2026 holidays list.
