IIRC, many federal civil servants do not get Remembrance Day off - though my memory could be outdated there. The last two jobs my mom has worked has given the option of Remembrance Day or Heritage Day, but never both (her co-workers have generally always voted Heritage Day.)
In Ottawa I believe federal civil servants are the ONLY people that get Remembrance Day off. I have had to work it while many of the government offices downtown have been empty. That would lead me to believe that federal civil servants should get it off everywhere.
