Happy Victoria Day everyone!

Victoria Day marks the first long weekend of summer here in Canada. It is also known as the May two-four long weekend. Some say that is because Canadians will drink a two-four of beer (a case of 24 beers) over the holiday weekend, but really because it is celebrated in honour of Queen Victoria, whose birthday was May 24th. Why celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday? Well, she was the British Monarch who reigned when Canada became a country.
Victoria Day is always celebrated on the Monday just before May 25th (so somewhere between May 18th and May 24th).
Victoria Day is celebrated throughout Canada, except in Quebec. Quebec celebrates the
Journée nationale des patriotes instead.
We hope our fellow Canadians enjoy the holiday! It looks to be sunny and warm here in Ontario!

Happy Victoria Day to you all.
We also congratulate you on the victory over Mighty Finland in the ice hockey. Pöh. Luckily we do not follow the game much so are not too upset about this. And Veikko and Seppo would never go near an ice rink.
Happy Victoria Day to you.
