* Victoria Day

May 20, 2024

Victoria Day, celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, is a Canadian holiday honouring Queen Victoria’s birthday and the beginning of the country’s summer season. Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901, played a pivotal role in the formation of Canada as a nation within the British Empire. The holiday marks not only her legacy but also serves as a time for Canadians to enjoy outdoor activities, fireworks, and family gatherings. Victoria Day is often seen as the unofficial start of summer, with many provinces holding festivals, parades, and events to commemorate both the Queen’s birthday and Canadian heritage.
