Premier says the Queen's passing will be marked by a day of mourning in the province
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced earlier today that Monday would be a federal holiday to mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Premier Doug Ford released a statement saying it would not be a holiday in Ontario.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 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.
We encourage all Ontarians to use this day to honour Her Majesty and pay tribute to the extraordinary legacy she leaves behind.
