my school was always closed

Hmm guess maybe us non-ontarion's and quebecer's are just clueless.

I kinda assumed since purolator/ups somewhat stopped working on that day in every province but those two that it wasn't a holiday.

For whatever reason dell would only really service those two provinces on that day :S

It's not a national holiday.

If it were then schools would also be closed [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]The schools I went to had a mandatory assembly each year on the day to take a moment of silence and show us a video to remember.

what is, paying respect to people who VOLUNTEER'D to go out with almost certainty they'e going to be killed.

You're ignorant.

I heard on the radio where its preferred that kids are in school on Rememberance Day, that way they get to learn about it and participate in the ceremonies more so than if they had the day off.

It's not a national holiday.

Jordy is right if it was an official holiday for EVERYONE the schools would be closed. And at least in this province the schools aren't closed on Rememberance Day, they educate the students and honour a moment of silence at the appropriate time. And yes Gov't workers do treat it as a holiday. Including gov't involved/run businesses eg. Post Office and I believe banks too? (I may be mistaken about the banks)
