Major-General Sir Isaac Brock Day Recently the Ontario Legislature passed a bill proclaiming October 13th as Major-General Sir Isaac Brock Day, this year and annually thereafter. Often known as “the Hero of Upper Canada” for his valiant defence of the Province, Brock died in battle on 13 October 1812, successfully defending Queenston Heights from US attack. The bill will become law when it is given Royal Assent by the Lieutenant-Governor on a date to be announced. However, it will not be a holiday, perhaps because it falls close to Thanksgiving weekend.
