It will not be a provincial holiday.
Alberta will hold an outdoor ceremony in honour of Queen Elizabeth II at the Alberta legislature at 10 a.m. on Sept. 19. The ceremony will be live-streamed on alberta.ca and Government of Alberta social media channels.
The ceremony will begin with a moment of silence and the province is encouraging workplaces, schools, offices and retail stores to also observe the moment of silence.
The news release states, “As part of the day of mourning, all employers are encouraged to make accommodations for employees to either attend the ceremony at the legislature or otherwise mark the occasion of Her late Majesty’s funeral.
Schools will be encouraged to offer opportunities for students to take part in the day of mourning. Further details will be provided to school boards by Alberta Education.
Premier Jason Kenney said in a statement, “Albertans, Canadians and the peoples of the Commonwealth will join together on this day in sorrow to mourn the death of Her late Majesty and to commemorate her long and faithful service. I sincerely hope that Albertans find some time on this day to honour the remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth II and I strongly encourage employers and schools to appropriately mark this sombre and historic occasion.”
Albertans can sign books of condolence at the Alberta legislature and other provincial buildings until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept.18 and online until noon on Monday, Sept. 19.
