Remembrance Day is colloquially referred to as a "bank holiday."Most provinces also observe a holiday on the first Monday in August and some observe another holiday at other times.Canada's Interpretation Act describes each Sunday as a "holiday." In addition, the Act names eight other holidays. Section 35(1) reads, in part:"holiday" means any of the following days, namely, Sunday; New Year's Day; Good Friday; Easter Monday; Christmas Day; the birthday or the day fixed by proclamation for the celebration of the birthday of the reigning Sovereign; Victoria Day; Canada Day; the first Monday in September, designated Labour Day; Remembrance Day; any day appointed by proclamation to be observed as a day of general prayer or mourning or day of public rejoicing or thanksgiving; ...The problem, however, is that a person's right not to work on a holiday, or to be paid a premium for having to work on a holiday, is contained in a hodge-podge of sometimes inconsistent federal and provincial legislation.
