Bridge day check

Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

The Monday before 25 May, nominally the sovereign's birthday, in practice the unofficial start of summer — cottages open, gardens get planted, fireworks go up.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks and government close; retail largely open outside Quebec.

Getting around

Holiday timetables and very heavy Friday-afternoon traffic out of Toronto and Montreal.
