Victoria Day in Canada: The May Long Weekend

May 17, 2018

Happy May Long! This is a friendly reminder that there will be no classes on Monday, May 21st as it’s the Victoria Day National holiday.

Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday before May 25th. It honours Queen Victoria’s birthday.

To celebrate the long weekend, some Winnipeggers go out of town to go camping. Others spend time in the city, enjoying some fresh air at one of Winnipeg’s many parks.

Enjoy your long weekend!
