Sept. 19 declared Federal holiday — classes cancelled — paid holiday for all employees

This notice is from the archives of The Notice Board. Information contained in this notice was accurate at the time of publication but may no longer be so.

Dear Campus Community,

Earlier today, the Prime Minister announced Sept. 19, 2022, will be a federal holiday in Canada in recognition of the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II. 

The Academic Staff Collective Agreement (ASCA) requires that “any other day so proclaimed by the Federal, Provincial, or University authorities” is defined as a holiday for academic staff (Article 16.01). As a result, the University will observe this holiday and September 19th will be a paid University holiday for all employees, with no classes or assessments for students. Some services will remain open to meet operational requirements.  

Classes and university operations will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022.

Sincerely,

Mike Mahon, PhD
President and Vice-Chancellor
