Happy Victoria Day to all those Canadians out there.
Yes, this is Victoria Day Long Weekend, Sometimes called the May 2-4 Weekend when we open up the cottages, camps and cabins here in Ontario and all across the country.
We usually have a 24 case of beer to help with all the festivities.
So Happy May 2-4 for everyone sitting on the beach this morning with a Big Hangover from the last 2 nights. We have 24 hours to recover before we head back to work tomorrow.
Or just stay at the cottage with wifi for the next 3 months.
See you all in September.
To Canadians, Victoria Day — the Monday before May 25 — on May 24 this year, signifies the beginning of summer and the arrival of warmer, greener days. But, much like Independence Day in the U.S., Victoria Day has more colonial roots than are usually discussed amidst all the fireworks and jolly gatherings. This day marks the birthday of Queen Victoria, who was the ruling monarch at the time of Canada’s birth as a country in 1867. It’s a day to celebrate all the wonderful things that make Canada, Canada.
