On the one hand, Rememberance Day and its ceremonies are culturally significant and of great importance to many people. On the other hand, some people don't find it important, and it's not a statutory holiday, so most people have to go about their normal business. I can see both sides.
But I don't know how long the shuttles will add to people's trips, so it's hard to have an opinion about whether it's warranted or not. I don't think I would be in favour of, say, having all buses pull over to the side of the road at 11:00. But adding five or so minutes to trips on a handful of lines for a few hours seems justifiable to allow for the ceremony to take place.
