Please Remember
Remembrance Day, November 11. Please remember all those who serve or have served their country, whatever side they were on. Many paid the ultimate price, many still carry the scars and families still grieve.
This has been around a while, but is quite pertinent to the moment.

Re: Please Remember
Quoting from the Wiki article called Holidays and Festivals-Canada:
Some of my Calgary employers required me to work on November 11th, but gave me December 27th off in lieu of Remembrance Day.

In Manitoba, Remembrance Day is not a statutory holiday, but legislation requires the compulsory closing of all businesses, with some specified exceptions.
In some of the jurisdictions in which Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday, employers can require employees to work on November 11th, but give them another paid day off work in lieu of Remembrance Day. Several companies give their employees December 27th instead of November 11th.
It is not a statutory holiday in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Ontario and Quebec.

Re: Please Remember
Remembrance Day is a holiday for us, but we choose to take it off the day before Canada Day this year instead. It's used as a floating holiday by our company.

Re: Please Remember
I am well aware of that, but just prior to seeing this post I had been talking to the President of our small company as to what to do as the holiday fell on a Tuesday. He felt it should not be used as a float day but that the day be kept as a mark of respect holiday. Therefore we will be closed.

Re: Please Remember
Hi, I went on my superwall. Clicked on videos and typed pittance of time into the search box just below where the videos played. There were a few to choose from as it seems quite popular on you tube. Just clicked on the version I wanted and then forward to who ever you want. Good Luck. Katrina
