Victoria Day…
Observed on the last Monday before May 25th, is a Canadian holiday that celebrates the birthday of Queen Victoria, who played a key role in Canada’s early development. Established in 1845, it remains an important holiday, symbolizing Canada’s connection to the British monarchy. The day also marks the unofficial start of summer, with many Canadians taking advantage of the long weekend for outdoor activities, picnics, barbecues, and getaways. Major cities host parades, concerts, and spectacular fireworks displays, while gardens and parks come alive with spring blooms. For many, it’s a time to relax and embrace the changing season.
