Here is a link explaining Stat holidays in Alberta: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/labour/la..._alberta.shtml

actually I'm not. Since being in the Federal Public Service, I'm Federally Regulated under the CLC.

who we are and what we get plus a couple more under the Collective Agreement

Enough of family day... it's a weak reason for a holiday at best. What eats at me about Remembrance Day is the fact that it's not a statutory for everyone coast to coast. That should change.

OH FOR SURE!!! Totally agree with this point, more and more it seems to me that people are forgetting what Rememberance Day is all about.

I guess it will all depend who you work for, in most cases, the employee will be entitled to the day. I have found many employers don't recognize many days that should be recognized. A very good example is one employer I had would not give Rememberance Day... Now that being said, I was entitled, and finally proved it to them. I guess the problem is many employers don't know, and many employees don't either.

Now back to the thread topic... Has your frags arrived yet?

Nope, a couple of pages back there I mentioned that they wouldn't be coming until next Monday. Got lost in the holiday shuffle, I guess!

Good one! I just got an email from him what he had sent the frags by Fedex (?) and the tracking info indicates that they would arrive tomorrow. Is this normal? IT would seem to me that there is a high likelihood of mortality with overnight shipping. I've only ever seen shipping by Air Canada or WestJet, has anyone here had any experience with corals shipped by Fedex? Also, and this is the funniest part, they're predicting a stormy day for us here tomorrow so it probably won't get here anyway!

Coral by fedex..... Idk how anyone else feels (and for the record I know zip about shipping) but 2 days in a bag cannot be a good thing so I predict 50% DOA

I had an old shipping box laying around from about a year ago and he did use Fedex. All the carriers would most likely be overnight, If he puts in enough heat packs you should be fine.
