This pause coincides with the Provincial moment of silence following Her Late Majesty’s State Funeral on Monday, the last day of the official period of mourning in Canada.

The funeral will take place at Westminister Abbey in London, England.

Oakville Transit will operate regular Monday service for the remainder of the day.
