Happy Victoria Day
Victoria Day is the Queen's official birthday in Canada. As a constitutional monarchy, it is fitting that we observe this day and pay our loyal respect – and reverence – to the sovereign that gave Royal Assent to Canada, the mother monarch who gave birth to our country by consenting to confederation through the British North America Act of 1867. If we still believe – as surely we must – that every nation needs to subscribe to a history, it seems only proper that we continue to reserve one day of every year to commemorate the institution that goes to the very core of our narrative and identity as a people. The story and spirit of Canada is every bit as much tied to the national significance of May the 24th, as it is to the significance of July the 1st and November the 11th, the three occasions which respectively evoke the memory of King, Country and those who died for it.
Here is the Royal Proclamation of 1957:
QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY
Proclaimed for Celebration
ELIZABETH THE SECOND, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories, QUEEN, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
To All To Whom these Presents shall come or whom the same may in anywise concern — Greeting:
A PROCLAMATION
Whereas Our birthday falling on the twenty-first day of April it is thought fit to appoint the first Monday immediately preceding the twenty-fifth day of May as the day on which Our birthday is to be officially celebrated in Canada in 1957 and each year thereafter.
Now Know Ye that we do hereby proclaim and declare by this Our Proclamation that the first Monday immediately preceding the twenty-fifth day of May is hereby fixed for the celebration in Canada of Our birthday in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-seven and each year thereafter.
Of All Which Our Loving Subjects and all others whom these Presents may concern are hereby required to take notice and to govern themselves accordingly.
In Testimony Whereof We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent and the Great Seal of Canada to be hereunto affixed. Witness: Our Right Trusty and Well-beloved Counsellor, Vincent Massey, Member of Our Order of the companions of Honour, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada.
At Our Government House in Our City of Ottawa, this Thirty-first day of January in the year of Our Lord, One thousand nine hundred and fifty-seven and in the Fifth Year of Our Reign.
