This being a statutory holiday, please enjoy the day off and let's talk again next Monday.But what about Victoria Day?
Well, Canadians love their queens, and Canadians love long weekends and fireworks.
So what a better way to get it all than to celebrate the birthday of the queen who ruled over one of the most significant periods of modern history, the Victorian Era.
Today, Victoria Day is well-known as the day for many Torontonians to drive up north to open and fix up their cottages, which have been winterized and unused over the winter months. And the Ontario Provincial Police are happy to hand out fines on those highways leading out to the cottages on this particular weekend. But that's for people in Ontario.

We just celebrated it at home. I asked my sisters to came over to our duplex to have a little get together since all of us were not working that day. We had barbecue, buns, fruits, drinks and ice cream for our dinner. We ended the day by wathing a horror movie. It was fun..
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bunch of fun, Luanne. Thank you! I look forward to hearing from your classmates.
DeleteI don't know about Canadian people, but most immigrants,especially newcomers, just injoy long weekend.
DeleteThey don't feel any dependence to these events and most young people believe that kingship and monarchy belong to the old history.
Anyway, we went to the picnic on Victoria day and enjoyed that very nice weather after a very long winter in Saskatoon.
