VOCU – September 19th Holiday

As you have likely heard, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has heralded that Monday, September 19, the day of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral, will be a federal holiday.

Premier John Horgan has also declared Monday, September 19, a day of remembrance this year to align with the federal decision to mark the Queen’s funeral with a holiday.

As confirmed in Premier Horgan’s statement on National Day of Mourning to mark the Queen’s funeral, and due to our federal holiday recognition language in Article 7, all locations will be closed this year on Saturday, September 17, and Monday, September 19, to accommodate those who work Monday to Friday and Tuesday to Saturday schedules.

In solidarity,

Trevor Hansen, Union Representative
