The date, and why: Family Day 2026 in Ontario falls on Monday, February 16 — the third Monday of February. This creates a 3-day long weekend (Sat Feb 14 – Mon Feb 16).
Where it counts as statutory: Regional. Family Day is statutory in AB, BC, NB, ON, and SK. It is NOT a federal statutory holiday, so federal employees may not automatically receive it off. Nova Scotia observes Heritage Day on the same date.
Long weekend: February 2026 calendar: Sat Feb 14 (Valentine's Day) – Sun Feb 15 – Mon Feb 16 (Family Day). Note that Family Day coincides with the Valentine's Day weekend in 2026.
What closes: Provincial government offices, banks, and schools close in Ontario. Many retail businesses remain open but must pay employees public holiday pay. Federal offices (Service Canada, passport offices) may remain open.
Where the name comes from: Family Day is designed to give families an opportunity to spend time together in mid-winter. Many communities host free family-oriented events at recreation centers, museums, and skating rinks.
