Victoria Day!

For our fellow member ladies in Canada, we would like to show our welcome by celebrating Victoria Day with them. It is the celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria, Canada's queen during Confederation in 1867. Here is the date written out in cards, as to accord with our societic traditions.
(The Date: May 18, 2009. FYI We just realized that the date is not in Canadian Date Formatting, which would be DD/MM/YYYY. This one is in MM/DD/YYYY. We're sorry about the inconvience.)
Please note that her birthday is actually on the 24th of May, but the holiday is "celebrated on the last Monday before or on 24 May" (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Day)
...And: Victoria Day is not celebrated in Quebec
Anyhow, for those who do celebrate it, enjoy the fireworks!
