In Canada, Remembrance Day is always observed on 11 November at 11:00 AM, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. On this day, it is a holiday for federal government employees. However, for private business, provincial governments, and schools, its status varies by province. In Western and Atlantic Canada, it is a general holiday. In Ontario and Quebec, it is not a general holiday, although corporations that are federally registered may make the day a full holiday, or instead, designate a provincially-recognized holiday on a different day. Schools usually hold assemblies for the first half of the day, or on the school day prior, with various presentations concerning the remembrance of the war dead.
