UniUni holiday schedule

The days UniUni doesn't deliver, province by province, from its own published list, with the rest of 2026 and what to expect in 2027.

Updated

Short answer. UniUni stops delivering on a list of Canadian holidays that it sets province by province. Five apply everywhere: New Year's Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Christmas Day. The list UniUni publishes is labelled 2024, but it names each holiday by rule rather than by date, and UniUni hasn’t published a newer one.

UniUni holidays for the rest of 2026

These are the season’s dates from UniUni’s list, with the provinces where it still delivers.

From UniUni's own holiday schedule, checked October 17, 2026. Carriers can change these dates.

In 2026, Boxing Day falls on Saturday, December 26. UniUni’s list names December 26 in Ontario only and doesn’t say whether that closure moves to Monday, December 28, the day the other carriers observe it. Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve aren’t on the list.

UniUni's "2024 Canadian Non-Delivery Holidays" table, as shown on uniuni.com on October 17, 2026. Province codes as UniUni writes them.

UniUni shows this table on its support page and across its site under the title “2024 Canadian Non-Delivery Holidays”, and on October 17, 2026 it was still the only list it had published. Each holiday is named by rule, such as “Second Monday in October”, so the same days recur every year, but UniUni hasn’t confirmed the list for 2026 or 2027.

The list files Nunavut Day under the Northwest Territories. Neither territory is on UniUni’s delivery map yet, so those rows don’t change any delivery today.

UniUni holidays by province

Every province gets the five nationwide days. These are the others on UniUni’s list, province by province.

Dates from the 2027 calendar with UniUni's list applied. UniUni hasn't published 2027 dates.

In Newfoundland and Labrador, UniUni also stops on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) and St. George's Day (April 23). Christmas Day 2027 falls on a Saturday and Boxing Day on a Sunday, and UniUni’s list doesn’t say whether either moves to a weekday.

Shipping around UniUni’s holidays

A ProtonShip quote counts UniUni’s closures province by province for the dates in the first table: a holiday at the origin moves the day UniUni takes the parcel, and one at the destination pushes the delivery back. When UniUni’s system returns its own estimated date, the quote shows that instead. On a day like Remembrance Day, other carriers in the same quote may still deliver.
