Victoria Day, celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday (May 24, 1819), was first declared a holiday in Canada in 1845. It was originally observed on May 24 every year unless that date was a Sunday, in which case it was celebrated on May 25. In 1952, the federal government changed the date to celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25.

The Victoria Day weekend is colloquially known as the May Two-Four weekend, referring both to the Queen’s birthday and Canadian slang for a case of 24 beers (a popular beverage during the weekend). It’s considered to mark the unofficial beginning of summer, and many people traditionally go camping, open their cottages, garden, or travel during the weekend. Of course, with the COVID-19 pandemic, Victoria Day 2020 is not a traditional Victoria Day. People will be staying close to home and avoiding travel, and there won’t be celebratory public firework displays this year.

Victoria Day Monday is both a federal and a provincial statutory holiday, so any government offices and services that remained open during the pandemic are closed, as are liquor and beer stores. Many grocery stores and pharmacies are open on Monday, as are many hardware stores.
