At Quebec. although Provincial Government employees and pro- vinclsl courts were on the job. the Federal and city offices and banks were all closed. French-speaking schools remained open and held celebrations for Dollard Des Orni- eaux - the patriotic figure who is said to have saved Montreal in l000 in a last-ditch stand against the Iroquois in the battle of the Long Suult. The holiday was only partially observed in Montreal where some department stores remained open and the city courts did business as usual.
