BC Transit – September 19 Holiday
September 15, 2022
To: All MoveUP members at BC Transit
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 14, September 19 will be a paid day off for employees normally entitled to provincial or federal statutory holidays. As with other statutory holidays, essential services will continue to operate in places they are required.
In solidarity,
Shawn Lakusta
Union Representative
