Victoria Day, also referred to as May Long, May Run, or May Two-Four Weekend, is a federal and public holiday in Canada that honors the birth of Queen Victoria as well as signlaing the official beginning to the summer season in Canada.
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.
