Victoria Day is a Canadian holiday observed annually on the Monday preceding May 25 to celebrate the British sovereign Queen Victoria’s birthday. The observance of this day was first declared to be on the queen’s birthday (May 24) in 1845. However, in 1952, an amendment to the Statutes of Canada established the celebration of Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25.
