Impact of September 30th federal holiday
Summary
The Prince Edward Island government will begin this year to observe September 30 as the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This Fall, Premier King will be introducing an amendment to the Employment Standards Act to officially recognize September 30 as a provincial statutory holiday for all Islanders. In a release, the province said provincial government offices, public schools and regulated child care will be closed on that day. The Government of Yukon will work closely with First Nations, businesses and communities in the coming months on how to mark this day and to commemorate it with respect and compassion. Premier François Legault told reporters that the province has enough statutory holidays and the government isn’t interested in adding another, no matter the reason.
