- The date, and why
- Victoria Day 2026 falls on Monday, May 18 — always the last Monday before May 25. This creates a 3-day long weekend (Sat May 16 – Mon May 18).
- Where it counts as statutory
- Statutory in AB, BC, MB, NT, NU, ON, SK, and YT. Not a statutory holiday in NB, NL, NS, or PE. Quebec observes National Patriots' Day. Federal government employees nationwide get the day off.
- What closes
- Federal offices, banks, and schools close in provinces where it's statutory. Provincial liquor stores (LCBO in Ontario) may have adjusted hours. Many cottage areas see heavy traffic on Friday evening.
- Where the name comes from
- Victoria Day honors Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24, 1819) and serves as the official birthday celebration of the reigning Canadian monarch. Fireworks and community celebrations are common.
