Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday. All federal public servants receive Nov 11 as a stat. Not all provinces, specifically Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland, recognize Remembrance Day as a stat though. Many employers in Alberta award the November 11th holiday at a different time, usually over the Christmas break. That, in itself, is disrespectful but the wheels of commerce must grind on I guess.
