Today we celebrate Victoria Day to honour Queen Victoria on her birthday, though it is actually on the 24th. She was instrumental in the creation of Canada. While the constitution limits royal power in Canada, we are a monarchy, and Charles III is our current king. His great-great-great grandmother oversaw many historic events in Canada's history, including events that influenced the history of the province of British Columbia. Under her reign, disparate dominions were united into a single confederation that we now know as Canada. For this and other reasons, today we officially honour her memory.
