  It was a standard part of the school day when I attended Ontario public schools through the 70s and into the 80s. In fact, the lawsuit that led to it being removed from school activities was only filed in 1985 with the decision coming down in 1988, as I recall. 
  
  (On a related note, the only religious holidays granted statutory holiday status in Canada are Christian. The notion that Christmas is somehow under attack when it's literally enshrined in law as a national holiday is absurd.)
