With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, many in Canada have been asking whether a public holiday will be declared – including business closures – to mark the Queen's funeral on Sept. 19, 2022. As with any public holiday in Canada, the answer will depend on the jurisdiction in which the business operates.

On Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022, Prime Minister Trudeau declared that Monday, "Sept. 19, 2022, will be a National Day of Mourning in Canada, to mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II." This National Day of Mourning will apply to federal government employees, but not to federally-regulated private sector businesses unless they choose to observe the holiday. Similarly, the holiday announced by the federal government does not apply to provincially-regulated employees (which make up the vast majority of the workforce in Canada,) unless provinces also individually declare the day to be a public holiday. Currently, not every province is planning to set aside the day.

We set out below how each province will be treating Monday, Sept. 19, 2022:
