About Victoria Day

Victoria Day is the last Monday before 25 May, so it always falls between 18 and 24 May. It began as a celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday on 24 May and now also marks the official birthday of the reigning sovereign in Canada.

It is a general holiday under the Canada Labour Code and a statutory holiday in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. In Quebec the same Monday is National Patriots' Day (Journée nationale des patriotes), which honours the Patriotes of the 1837-1838 rebellions; it is a statutory holiday under the Act respecting labour standards. The date is the same in all five Canadian jurisdictions on this site, so only the name differs.

As a Monday holiday Victoria Day never needs a substitute day. It gives the first three-day weekend of the Canadian summer season, often called the May long weekend, and taking the four working days after it gives nine days off for four days of leave.
