Today is Victoria Day, which celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24th). Looking up the history it states, “Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, of which the Queen is head. Victoria Day is always on a Monday, and thus the holiday is part of a long weekend”.
According to CityNews, “This year’s Victoria Day festivities
will have an extra royal flare in Toronto with Prince Charles and Camilla, the
Duchess of Cambridge, scheduled to take in the fireworks at Ashbridges Bay Park
(in Toronto) tonight”. I look forward to taking in the fireworks and celebrating my first
Victoria Day in Canada!
Prince Charles and his wife Camilla are greeted as they arrive in Canada. The royal couple are visiting to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
