On September 13, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared September 19, 2022, a federal holiday and National Day of Mourning in Canada to honor the life and mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The holiday will provide federal government employees with a day off. Federally regulated employers are not required to provide this holiday to employees.

The following provinces will observe the National Day of Mourning on September 19, but they will not have a public holiday:

  • Alberta

The following provinces will have a holiday on September 19:

  • British Columbia
