Victoria Day

40

Victoria Day, also known as May Two-Four, May Long and May Long Weekend, is a Canadian holiday on the Monday preceding May 25. In some cities, fireworks displays or parades are held to mark Victoria Day.

For many people, the long Victoria Day weekend marks the end of the winter and the unofficial start of the spring or summer season.  After this weekend, gardeners can be reasonably sure that there will be no more frost until the autumn so they can sow or plant out delicate crops and plants. For the same reason, people with recreational homes in colder parts of the country often go to them to open them up for the summer. In addition, many amusement parks and outdoor attractions open for their summer season this weekend.

Queen Victoria was born on May 24, 1819. Following the death of three uncles and her father, she became Queen of the United Kingdom on June 20, 1837 and reigned until her death on January 22, 1901. During Victoria’s life, the British Empire expanded considerably. However, her powers as Queen of the United Kingdom were reduced as the House of Commons became more important and powerful in British politics.

Grab your lawn chairs and blankets, and pack your coolers, as The Celebration Foundation and CROA host the Spring Concert in the Park Series at Lakeside Park. The Spring Series is open to Celebration residents only. There is no fee for admission.

A great community deserves great music. The goal of the Concert Series Committee is to bring the finest music organizations to Celebration. This volunteer driven endeavor is supported by ticket sales and sponsorship. The Series aims to expose youth in the area to the beauty and skill of high quality classical music performances and typically offers four to five concerts beginning in December.

Each year the Celebration Foundation invites local organizations such as The Orlando Philharmonic, Brass Band of Central Florida, and the ever popular Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra to play in downtown Celebration at Community Presbyterian Church. Additionally, the Concert Committee brings in nationally or internationally acclaimed performances. Highlights have included the Vienna Boys Choir, Notre Dame Glee Club and Brooklyn Rider.

Happy International Woman’s Day

Happy International Women's Day

International Women’s Day is an important day to celebrate women’s social, economic, cultural & political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity.

Yet let’s also be aware progress has slowed in many places across the world, so urgent action is needed to accelerate gender parity.

Will you help challenge conscious and unconscious bias? Imagine a world where women and girls can thrive. This International Women’s Day, what will you do to drive gender parity? How can you help women and girls achieve their ambitions? The World Economic Forum predicts the gender gap won’t close entirely until 2133. That’s way too long to wait. Help ensure women and men’s contributions are equally valued.

Will you take action to help create an equal future where everyone’s strengths and differences are truly valued?
