Canada will observe a Day of Mourning for Queen Elizabeth II on Sept. 19.
Queen Elizabeth II served as Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada and the Commonwealth for 70 years until her death on Sept. 8 at the age of 96. The funeral service is 11 a.m. (BST) on Sept. 19 at Westminster Abbey, London.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Sept. 19 will be a national holiday and day of mourning for federal workers across Canada.
But Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the province would have a Day of Mourning in lieu of a provincial holiday.
“The people of Ontario may observe a moment of silence at 1 p.m. on that day,” Ford said.
Here’s what’s open and closed in Mississauga on Sept. 19:
