It’s that time of year when we heave a sigh of relief with winter behind us and glorious summer ahead. Informally called May 24 weekend, Victoria Day, a uniquely Canadian holiday, is celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria‘s birthday (May 24, 1819).

How are you spending THIS Victoria Day LONG weekend?

Here at Chase Cabinetry, this long weekend means more time to make great family memories, backyard BBQs, some serious KanJam, yard work, and yes, it goes without saying – fishing.

We don’t have any travel plans this weekend but we know a lot of you will. From our family to yours, we wish you safe travels and hope you have a fun, relaxed weekend filled with the people and activities you most enjoy.
