FYI
Victoria Day, colloquially known as May Two-four, May Long, or May Run, is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the last Monday before or on 24 May, in honour of both Queen Victoria’s birthday and the current reigning Canadian sovereign’s official birthday. It has been marked since before Canada was formed, originally falling on the sovereign’s actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated across the country on a fixed date and in various fashions, also being considered an informal mark of the beginning of the summer season.

More info
Victoria Day (also known as the Queen's Birthday, Empire Day, and Commonwealth Day) was first celebrated in 1845 in Ontario on the occasion of the birthday of England's young Queen Victoria. It has been a national holiday in Canada since 1901, and since 1952 has been celebrated annually on the Monday that falls before May 25.

Thanks. This weekend is the bestest weekend at The Home Depot - being the HR Manager I kept the staff happy. I did a BBQ from 10am to 4pm. It was a beautiful day here, I have quite the sun burn but had a great day. Hope everyone else did as well.
