Upcoming Monday will be a holiday for federal employees.
Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford has said through a statement that the province will observe a provincial Day of Mourning on September 19th in lieu of a provincial holiday.
The statement from the premier’s office reads, “Ontario will mark Sept. 19, 2022 as a provincial Day of Mourning in lieu of a provincial holiday. The people of Ontario may observe a moment of silence at 1:00 p.m. on that day.”
This will give all Ontarians an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth II and her unrelenting commitment to service and duty. It also allows students to be in school learning about the many contributions the Queen made to the people of Ontario, Canada, and the entire Commonwealth, as well as the accession of King Charles III.”

Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning living monarch in the modern world and on February 6, she became the first monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service.
Doug Ford can suck it. Our company took the day off for the queens funeral. He only cares about money and the GTA. Since we are southern Ontario, we are overlooked by the Ford Government, so our boss said that he would pay our days’ wages out of his own pocket. That’s the difference between a good boss and a shit premier.
