Is Remembrance Day a holiday in Ontario?
Remembrance Day is not one of Ontario’s nine public holidays. The province’s guide to the Employment Standards Act says some employers give the day off, but they are not required to under the Act. If you want to attend a weekday service, check with your employer about time off. This is general information, not legal advice.
Brampton Transit and getting there on November 11
Brampton Transit will run its regular weekday schedule on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, according to its November service change notice. Terminal customer service counters stay open, but the Clark and Sandalwood facilities, including Lost and Found, are closed that day.
Fifteen routes get new schedules on November 2, nine days before Remembrance Day. Check our list of Brampton Transit service changes in November before you head downtown. Fares and PRESTO tips are in our Brampton Transit guide.

Downtown veterans banners
Brampton’s Veterans Banner Program hangs banners with the names and photos of local veterans, from the First World War to today, on lampposts in downtown Brampton. The City says a large tribute banner showing the full collection was added to the outside wall of City Hall along Main Street in 2025. You can browse the banners on the City’s Remembrance Day page.
