No word on Alberta's plans

Manitoba, Saskatchewan announce plans to mark Queen’s death on day of state funeral

Sep 14, 2022 | 9:24 AM

All non-essential government services are to close Monday in Manitoba to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth II, while Saskatchewan plans to pay tribute to her without designating the day as a provincial statutory holiday.

Alberta has not yet indicated its plans for Monday.

The Manitoba government says it is closing non-essential government offices and services Monday for a day of mourning, but it will not be a statutory holiday for provincially regulated businesses.

Schools, child-care centres and other facilities are also to remain open.

The province says a 21-gun salute will take place on the south grounds of the legislature, and a memorial service by invitation will be held in the evening at St. John’s Anglican Cathedral in Winnipeg.

A memorial service is set for 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Regina.
