For the most part outside of the Schools and the Federal jobs and provincial Crown Corporations, maybe check with the boss to see how your employer is taking their cues.

While we sort it out, the Federal Government is inviting Canadians to review their information page on the passing of the Queen, where you can sign the Book of condolences  and review the history of the Monarch with Canadians.
