BREAKING: Sept. 19 will be day of mourning for Queen Elizabeth II in Ontario, but not a provincial holiday: Ford
“This will give all Ontarians an opportunity to reflect on the remarkable life of Queen Elizabeth II and her unrelenting commitment to service and duty,” Ford said in a statement. “It also allows students to be in school learning about the many contributions the Queen made to the people of Ontario, Canada, and the entire Commonwealth, as well as the accession of King Charles III.”
Ford's statement follows an announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier in the day that Sept. 19 will be a holiday for federal government employees to mark the queen’s passing.
