Tune in to Newstalk 610 CKTB to the Tim Denis in the Morning show on Friday, May 15th at 7:20 am to catch web chef, Kimberly Turner, with some Victoria Day recipes worthy of a fiesta!
Victoria Day is, typically, the first Canadian holiday on which we get outside to spark up the grill & get together with friends & family in the sunshine.
Filled with the colors red & white, in honour of the Canadian flag, our Victoria Day menu sparkles & shines, just like the fireworks that will fill the night sky.
What is Victoria Day?
Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25 in every province and territory. It honours Queen Victoria’s birthday. In Quebec, this holiday is called “National Patriotes Day” (Journée Nationale des Patriotes).
Victoria Day is also commonly referred to as the “May two-four weekend” or the “May long weekend” and it marks the unofficial start of summer & the cottage season. Outdoor pools often open on this weekend and BBQs and camping trips are the norm.
Even though she’s been dead for over a century, Canada has been celebrating Queen Victoria’s birthday for years. Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone could take a day off work or school on your birthday?
Queen Victoria was born on May 24th, but Canadians celebrate Victoria Day on the Monday before May 24. This year Victoria Day is May 18th, 2015.
Victoria Day became a popular holiday in Ontario (it was Canada West back then) in 1845 and a national holiday in 1901. During the 1900s, it used to be called Empire Day, and then it changed to Commonwealth Day. Now Canadians call it Victoria Day.
Web chef Kimberly Turner will share with you some inventive & delicious recipes for Victoria Day that will satisfy your Canadian side.
