Being an almost, life long resident of Australia, I am more knowledgeable about the origin of our Statutory Holidays. I’m not always “in the know” here in Canada. So with another long weekend fast approaching, I though it only appropriate to put my “smart hat” on and research what we are celebrating.
Victoria Day is a federal Canadian Statutory Holiday celebrated on the last Monday before or on 24 May, in honour of both Queen Victoria’s birthday and the current reigning Canadian Soverign’s official birthday, and is also considered an informal mark of the beginning of the summer season……Summer….. pshhh….I don’t think cold, windy, torrential downpours constitute as Summer. I definitely suggest packing your gumboots for any travels in the BC area!! As for my research….I officially love Wikipedia!! Read on…. about Victoria Day.
Be good, stay safe and Happy Victoria Day!!!
