About this countdown
This countdown targets Easter Sunday on Sunday, March 28, 2027, set by the rule: Easter Sunday. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Easter Sunday is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. Easter Sunday in Canada is a religous and cultural observance, not a statutory holiday — the legal days off are Good Friday and, for federal workers, Easter Monday. Because it falls on a Sunday, most major retailers close anyway.
