Most Tim Hortons locations across Canada remain open on Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is not a statutory holiday in Canada, so normal hours are expected at most locations.

Good Friday (April 3) is a national public holiday. While most locations stay open, hours may vary by region. Easter weekend typically brings higher customer traffic, especially in the morning.

Easter Monday (April 6) is a federal holiday only and does not apply to most provincial franchise workers — expect normal hours at the majority of Tim Hortons locations.


Victoria Day marks the May long weekend in Canada and is one of the busiest seasonal holidays. Most Tim Hortons locations remain open on Victoria Day, although some stores may operate with reduced hours depending on location and demand.

In Quebec, the same date is observed as National Patriots’ Day — Tim Hortons locations there may also see adjusted hours.
