Canberrans are receiving an additional public holiday this year with the ACT Government declaring that Sunday 25 April 2021 will be recognised as a public holiday.
Minister for Industrial Relations and Workplace Safety Mick Gentleman said this additional public holiday will allow all Canberrans to take part in Anzac Day commemorations.
"Anzac Day is a significant day for many Canberrans and this will empower workers to attend commemorations and ceremonial events held on the Sunday," Minister Gentleman said.
"It will also mean full public holiday awards will be paid on Sunday and help ensure Canberrans who work on weekends are not disadvantaged.
"The public holiday on Sunday 25 April 2021 will be in addition to the public holiday being observed this year for Anzac Day on Monday 26 April."
Remember to stay COVID Safe while attending ANZAC Day events including maintaining good hand hygiene, practicing physical distancing, check into venues using the Check In CBR app and stay home if you are unwell.
