Victoria Day, observed on May 19th, is a cherished Canadian holiday honouring the birth of Queen Victoria. It marks the unofficial beginning of summer and serves as a time for reflection on our shared heritage, unity, and the values that shape our communities. At Grand River Friendship Society, we embrace this day as a chance to celebrate the cultural fabric that weaves us together.
This year, our celebration was filled with vibrant Canadian spirit—symbolized by maple leaves, fireworks, and a deep sense of togetherness. Though not marked with a specific event, the message we share through this day resonates with the warmth and pride we feel for our nation and its diverse people.
As we wave our flags and gather in gratitude, Victoria Day reminds us that community isn’t just a place—it’s something we create through kindness, service, and action. At GRFS, we believe Love is a Verb, and every moment of unity is an opportunity to show it.
