This would be impossible with Remembrance Day.

Canada seems to be okay when New Year's Day, Canada Day, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day (officially ON only, but most offices observe it) don't fall on a Monday or Friday, so I'm not sure it would be impossible. In fact, with great resolve I'm sure we could round up the courage and ability to not go to work on whatever day it happens, even a Tuesday like in 2014. If it fell on a weekend then you take the Monday off. Every other day, you observe it on that day.
While articling at KPMG in Calgary we received a voicemail from the OMP stating you were free to not work on November 11th, but they preferred you to take that day off as Boxing Day. They made it your choice, but they did try and influence your choice. I will point out there was no backlash to people who took November 11th. We also were persuaded to not take Family Day off during that time, and instead take it off in the summer, as that was busy season. That one they made you give a good reason why you needed that day off. Apparently spending time with your family, who all have the day off, wasn't usually a valid excuse.
