At the present time it is left to the discretion of the commands, depending on the province actually. In British Columbia it is a statutory holiday and in Ontario it is not.
The national position is to leave it to the discretion of the commands as to how they go about handling it, but that is not set by the Legion, of course. Because of the discrepancies in the feelings of the various commands, we have not made a national stand on it. It has been brought to our convention, time without number, that we advocate for a national holiday on November 11, and the vote has been shot down. They have not, as a body, agreed to have it as a national holiday. So we stand that it is not, but if in a province it is, so be it.
