No. But it depends on what you mean by civic holiday and what province you are in or if an actual 'yes" to you question would be easier and accurate enough.
A stat holiday is nation wide. A Civic holiday can be a couple of things. It is a provincially declared holiday and therefore local. It is also what half the provinces call the August long weekend (First Monday in August) that most but not all provinces celebrate. And as a provincial thing, it may mean different things in different places as far as employee pay or rights.

Civic holiday is the first Monday of August. Ontario, Manitoba, Saks and New Territories call this day the Civic holiday. Other provinces call this day differently. Nova Scotia and PEI has it as the Natal day. New Brunswick is NB Day. British Columbia is BC day. Alberta calls it Heritage day. Yukon, Quebec and Nunavut don't have this day as holiday.
Civic Holiday is not called as a state holiday, rather called a provincial holiday. It is not a national holiday (like Canada Day on Jul.1) because not all provinces have the same day as holiday.
Civic holiday is not a pay holiday according to the Canadian Employment Standards that sets the standard nationally. It treats all national holidays (not the provincial holidays) a pay holiday.
For provinces having this holiday, the banks, governemnt, schools and some corporation closes on this day. Legally you don't get paid if you don't go to work on this day. If you have to work on this day, you get regular pay but don't get time and a half. If your boss give you a paid holiday or give you time and a half for working, it is a bonus benefit.
