Happy Victoria Day
Monday, May 19, 2008
Victoria Day, a celebration of Queen Victoria’s birthday is held in Canada on the second last weekend of May. Marking the unofficial start of summer in Canada, today is a statutory holiday from coast to coast to coast.
Born on May 24, 1819, Victoria ruled longer than any other British monarch (1837 – 1901). Her reign spanned a time when western society was undergoing radical transformation brought by the industrial age and democracy. Along with the city Metamend is based in (Victoria BC), dozens of towns, states, products and an entire historic era were named after her.
Happy Victoria Day to anyone else enjoying a much deserved holiday weekend.
