Victoria Day marks the birthday of Queen Victoria, the monarch who reigned when Canada officially became a country in 1867. It’s more than just the kickoff to summer—it’s a time to recognize Canada’s historical ties to the British monarchy and reflect on the country’s journey since Confederation.
From backyard BBQs to fireworks and parades, Canadians celebrate this long weekend in true patriotic style. So fire up the grill, soak in the sunshine, and enjoy the start of summer!
Happy Victoria Day! ☀️🍁
