VICTORIA DAY 2010 2

History,
According to City TV Toronto, Victoria Day started in 1845 as celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday. Queen Victoria was the sitting monarch when Canada was founded as a British colony in 1867. In the early years of this holiday, it was celebrated on the Queen's actual date of birth, May 24. If that date fell on a Sunday then the holiday would be recognized on May 25 instead. By 1952, the government of Canada declared that Victoria Day would permanently be celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25.
