Victoria Day is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, in honors of Queen Victoria's birthday. The date is also, simultaneously, that on which the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered as marking the beginning of the summer season in Canada. The holiday has been observed since before Canada was formed, originally falling on the sovereign's actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated in various fashions across the country on the fixed date. It is a statutory holiday federally, as well as in six of Canada's ten provinces and three of its territories.

Jacques Cartier was a French explorer. In 1534 he sailed in search of a western passage to Asia. He explored parts of what is now Newfoundland, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Canadian Maritimes and learned of a river further west (the St. Lawrence River) that he believed might be the long sought passage to the north-west. Cartier set sail for a second voyage on May 19 the following year. He sailed up the river to the villages on the spot where now stands Quebec, and Montreal, where he arrived October 2, 1535. There he heard of a nation to the north was said to be full of gold and other treasures. On May 23, 1541 sailed from Saint-Malo on his third voyage. After a terrible winter spent in Canada, returned to France the following year. Cartier spent the rest of his life in Saint-Malo and his nearby estate, died in 1557.
