Victoria Day in other provinces in Canada. Victoria Day is a Canadian statutory holiday celebrated on the Monday preceding May 25. It honours Queen Victoria’s birthday.
What is National Patriot’s Day? National Patriots’ Day has been held as a provincial statutory holiday since May 19, 2003, replacing another holiday known as la Fête de Dollard (Dollard Day), which was held in honour of the 17th century soldier Adam Dollard des Ormeaux. NPD commemorate the democracy and patriotic struggles for freedom from the British rule during 1837–1838. And being in Quebec this week-end, this is the holiday I will celebrate.
So what is there to celebrate so many years later? For me, it is a reflection on how people with strong POV (point of views) can make a difference in life. Not only for themselves but even for a whole province or country.
Is having a strong POB, stubbornness and close minded? Of course not, as long as you are willing and open to listen to other people with different POV. Each one of us have reasons, life experiences, surrounding that influences our point of views on different topics.
As an example I have a big POV on Integrity. I can listen and hear other peoples’ opinion on integrity and honesty, but nothing will break or make me step out of my state of being in harmony, in integrity with who I am as a whole first and honest, authentic with the world around me.
What do you stand for?
Have a great Holiday!
