ESL--Victoria Day
Victoria Day
Victoria Day is celebrated on the first Monday preceding May 25th. It is a statutory holiday throughout all of Canada except the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island).
Victoria Day falls on the second to last Monday in May, which is usually the third weekend, but can be the fourth in years like 1999 where the 31st falls on a Monday. It falls on the weekend preceding Memorial Day in the United States. Some cities celebrate this day with fireworks in the evening.
Victoria Day is officially the Sovereign's birthday. The Sovereign's birthday was first observed in Ontario (then called Canada West) in 1845 to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria of England (1837-1901).
After the death of Queen Victoria, an Act was passed by the Parliament of Canada establishing a legal holiday on May 24 in each year (or May 25 if May 24 fell on a Sunday) under the name Victoria Day. An amendment to the Statutes of Canada in 1952 established the celebration of Victoria Day on the Monday preceding May 25, making it the first long weekend of the summer season.
From 1953 to 1956, the Queen's birthday was celebrated in Canada on Victoria Day. In 1957, Victoria Day was permanently appointed as the Queen's birthday in Canada. In the United Kingdom, the Queen's birthday is celebrated in June.
Victoria Day has also been known as the Queen's Birthday, Empire Day, and Commonwealth Day. The holiday name was changed to Empire Day in the 1890s when enthusiasm for the British Empire was at a peak. By the mid-20th century, however, the Empire had given way to the Commonwealth, so the holiday became known as Commonwealth Day. In 1977 Commonwealth Day was moved to the second Monday in March and Canadians continued to celebrate Victoria Day in May.
In Québec, since 2003 it has also been known as National Patriots’ Day to honor the rebellion against the British in 1837. Before 2003 in Québec it was known as la Fête de Dollard or Dollard Day in honor of the 17th century soldier, Adam Dollard des Ormeaux.

ESL-走进法院
BC[FONT=宋体]省的法院有省法院（[/FONT]---[FONT=宋体]犯罪法庭、家庭法庭、小额索偿法庭、交通法庭、未成年法庭。）和省高级法院（上诉法院、严重案件审判法庭、公民法庭等）。[/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]本月的实战是去省法院和省高级法院现场聆听审判。
省法院和高级法院在[/FONT]800-Smithe Street[FONT=宋体]、[/FONT]800 Hornby Street [FONT=宋体]，一路之隔，有架空连廊连接或者从地下车库连接。首先一位接待人员给我们讲了注意事项，每人发了一个类似指南的一张纸片，上面有注意事项和示意图。进法院的门也没人问。法庭的审理是可以进去坐在位置上旁听的，进出时要安静，不能站在走道上，当法官进来或或者退场时要起立。旁听时不能讲话，不能在审判庭谈论案件。要关掉手机和[/FONT]BP[FONT=宋体]机，不能携带口香糖、食物、帽子、武器、录音设备、照相机等物品。首先我们到了[/FONT]20[FONT=宋体]号法庭，是个一级谋杀（一级谋杀是有预谋、有计划的谋杀）案件的审理法庭。
里面很大，下部用木隔断上部用玻璃隔断把审判区和旁听区分开，里面的装修也是我看过的五个法庭最好，吊顶、木饰墙面。穿红色外衣的法官（其他法庭见到的都是穿黑衣的）坐在正前方中央。左边是[/FONT]12[FONT=宋体]个陪审员（陪审员必须是加国公民，并且有义务出席庭审，他们要仔细听庭审过程，最后有他们却定嫌疑犯是否有罪，定刑则是由法官完成）下面坐满了律师和工作人员，每边还有两个身强力壮的警察。四个嫌疑犯坐在隔断里面最后右手座位之间也有玻璃隔断的位置上。估计也是为了规模效益才四个人一起审的。是我见到最多人的一个法庭，里面大约总共有四十个左右。被指控为一级谋杀的四个人看起来神色自若，其中两个人还把头前倾在说着什么。听了半个多小时，也没听明白说的什么。
休庭的时候，大家起立法官离开后，我们也准备离开，结果发现那四个嫌疑犯居然没戴手铐和脚镣，万一他们有所动作那四个警察估计也不是很轻松能对付的。不怕伤到里面那么多的法官律师等工作人员。
后来又去了三个法庭，每个法庭只有五[/FONT]―[FONT=宋体]八个人，其中一个好像是在说医疗和工伤问题，没有警察，进去五分钟左右休庭看样子要关门，我们就赶快出来了，有两个坐在旁听位置上的没有出来，看来允许呆在里面。另外两个各有一个警察，似乎案件严重一些，一个好像是信用卡的案件，另一个什么都没听懂。法院大楼总共七层，有电梯可上到不同的楼层。电梯间和不少审判庭的墙面居然是混凝土面没有任何装饰的，连对拉螺栓的孔和预埋的塑料套管都看得到。有一个法庭的柱子的边角居然都残缺了。省法院和省高级法院的硬件确实不怎么样。[/FONT]
