UK & Canada News

About this section

Holiday news for readers in the United Kingdom and Canada: bank holidays in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, extra one-off bank holidays, and Canadian federal and provincial statutory holidays such as Family Day, Civic Holiday and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Stories say which nations or provinces a date applies to, whether it is a statutory or optional day off, and when substitute days apply. Each piece links to the UK or Canada holiday list and the matching when-is page for that holiday.
