We all may think children enjoy celebrating holidays, and they typically do, but this "Lost Canadian" thinks we grandmas enjoy the celebrating the most because we get to plan and then celebrate with the ones we love! Of course I know all about the holidays we celebrate here in the USA, and while Canadians do celebrate some of the same holidays, I thought it would be fun to learn about Holidays in Canada, so for the next few days I will share with you what I learned about these days which bring opportunities for grandmas to plan and celebrate with the ones we love! I will share a list of Canadian Holidays at the end of this post, but today I'm writing about the next Holiday to be celebrated in Canada - Victoria Day . . .
- Victoria Day is a Canadian federal holiday honoring Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24, 1819), officially celebrated on the last Monday before May 25 to create a long weekend.
- the holiday was made a permanent federal statutory holiday after her death in 1901 to honor her as the "Mother of Confederation".
