If it's a stat holiday, all employees in non-essential services should get the day off.
It's not dictating what you get to do on your holiday, it's allowing everyone that same right to that holiday.

Stealth, I was replying to a post about everything being closed on stat Holidays...period. As for Remembrance Day, I think things being closed until noon should suffice.
Chill...so July long weekend, can't stop for gas if going away? How about a campground or hotels? Would they be closed too? Surely those staff need time off as well. Restaurants need to be open if hotels are open. If they can serve food why can't grocery stores be open?
