Alberta has followed in the federal government’s lead and declared Monday, September 19, a provincial day of mourning to “officially honor Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.” ”

However, it will not be considered a public holiday.

On Monday, the prime minister announced that Canada would observe a national day of mourning on September 19. The holiday coincides with the Queen’s funeral in London, UK.

“We also chose to go ahead with a federal holiday on Monday,” Justin Trudeau said Tuesday.

We’ll work with the provinces and territories to try to make sure that we agree on that. There are still some details to work out, but announcing an opportunity for Canadians to grieve on Monday will be significant. »

While Trudeau declared Monday to be a “federal holiday,” which normally applies to federally regulated workers and civil servants, Labor Secretary Seamus O’Regan said in a tweet later that federally regulated workers would not automatically get the day off.

He said it would only be for “federal government employees”.

“I think the best case scenario is for the government to declare a memorial or celebratory holiday and let employers decide whether they want to lock employees down or give them a day off,” said Kathleen Cook of the Canadian Federation of Independent Workers. Work said Tuesday.

“We thought this would really be limited to federal government employees, so it wouldn’t apply to federal workers in general,” said Karen Trebowski, a Calgary-based labor and employment attorney at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP.

“In terms of provinces, it is up to each province at this point to decide whether or not to apply it to their workers.

“Because the provincial responsibility is about employment, the federal government can’t tell the provinces what to do about it,” Terebowski said.

In Alberta, people are invited to an outdoor ceremony and a minute’s silence at 10 a.m. Monday in the Legislative Assembly.

“Workplaces, schools, offices and retail stores are asked to observe a minute’s silence,” read a regional press release on Wednesday.

As part of the Day of Mourning, all employers are encouraged to provide accommodations for employees to attend the ceremony in the Legislative Council or to celebrate the funeral of Her Late Majesty.

Schools will be encouraged to provide students with opportunities to participate in the day of mourning.

Members of the public can also sign sympathy books at the Alberta Legislative Assembly and other provincial buildings until 4pm on Sunday, September 18th and online until noon on Monday, September 19th.

“Alberta, Canadians and the people of the Commonwealth will gather on this day to mourn the passing of Her Majesty The Queen and to commemorate her long and loyal service,” Prime Minister Jason Kenney said in a press release. “I sincerely hope that the people of Alberta will find time on this day to honor the remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth II and strongly encourage employers and schools to appropriately celebrate this grim and historic occasion.”
