2010/5/24 Victoria Day
这个周末是个长周末，休息三天，因为今天是Victoria Day，是加拿大法定的假期。Victoria Day是为了纪念加拿大第一任元首Victoria女王的生日，每年5月24号或这一天之前的最后一个星期一，这一天也被认为是夏天的开始。
夏天好象是要开始了，气温也从上周的20度以下到了28度了，喜欢多伦多的天气，春天很长，有快三个月的时间，这个要比北京好多了，北京能有30天就不错了。
这一天通常会放礼花庆祝，听同事说每年多伦多在ONTARIO PLACE都会放礼花，不过看了2008奥运会的礼花和春节时候的礼花，能超过这个规模的也不会太多了吧，所以决定今天还是宅在BURLINGTON。

Victoria Day (in French: Fête de la Reine) is a federal Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the last Monday before or on May 24, in honour of both Queen Victoria's birthday and the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday, and is also considered an informal mark of the beginning of the summer season. It has been observed since before Canada was formed, originally falling on the sovereign's actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated in various fashions across the country on the fixed date of the first Monday on or before May 24. Royal Salutes, or 21-gun salutes, are fired in each provincial capital and in the national capital at noon on Victoria Day to mark the Sovereign's Birthday. However, since the Quiet Revolution in Quebec, the same day was unofficially known in the province as Fête de Dollard until 2003, when provincial legislation officially named the same date as Victoria Day the National Patriots' Day.

跟你一比。我过得实在太寒酸了。
