That is right. We always spell it 'cancelled'. There are many british people who get excessively uptight about 'american english', one of which probably edited your sign. The only time I am ever slightly peeved is if the language is labelled 'american', which has been a choice in many an install...
Still, there are worse signs about, grammatically speaking. I've seen a few names painted onto shops and trucks with errors, usually involving apostrophes.
