Victoria Day

Victoria Day is a Canadian holiday honoring Queen Victoria’s birthday, celebrated annually on the last Monday before May 25th. It commemorates the British monarch’s influence and the founding of Canada as a nation. Traditionally, it marks the beginning of summer in Canada, and many people enjoy outdoor activities, parades, and fireworks. The holiday also serves to recognize Canada’s historical ties to Britain and is a time for Canadians to celebrate their heritage. While it’s primarily a patriotic observance, it functions as a public holiday, giving most workers a day off.
