Context
January in Canada
January in Canada opens with New Year's Day and then settles into the deepest part of winter. There are no other federal statutory holidays in the month. Schools return in the first week after the winter break, and employers issue T4 slips by the end of February, so January is a good time to gather tax paperwork.
Behind the dates
- New Year's Day
- New Year's Day marks the first day of the Gregorian calendar year. Most workplaces and schools close, and it is the traditional moment to hang a new wall calendar.

Printing
Printing tips
- Choose A4 outside North America and Letter in the United States and Canada; the two layouts are otherwise identical, with the same generous margins.
- In the print dialog, set the scale to 100% or "Actual size". "Fit to page" quietly shrinks the grid and softens the lines.
- Portrait is the classic wall format; landscape gives each day a wider box if you write big or plan in two colors.
- For a wall calendar that stays flat, print on heavier paper, around 160 to 200 gsm.

Planning
Planning notes for January 2026
- The first working day of January 2026 is Friday, January 2, and the last is Friday, January 30.
- New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1 falls in the middle of the week, so on its own it does not create a long weekend.
- Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays appear five times this month and the other days four times, so a weekly class, trash day, or payment that falls on one of them comes around once more than usual.
