Happy Victoria Day Long Weekend!


The MS Society would like to wish you a safe and happy Victoria Day Long Weekend!  Victoria Day holiday is celebrated on the last Monday on or before May 24, in honour of Queen Victoria’s birthday.  It also unofficially marks the beginning of the Canadian summer!

Here is a list of fundraising activities for the Victoria Day Long Weekend
·         Open the cottage, or go to a friend's cottage and watch them open it.  Instead of throwing out unwanted possessions, put on a garage sale to raise funds for the MS Society, one person’s garbage is another person’s treasure!
·         Go on a fishing trip, or let your spouse go and enjoy the peace and quiet at home.  Challenge friends to a fishing derby and ask friends or family to sponsor your efforts in seeing who can reel in the biggest catch!
·         Stay at home, dust off the gardening gloves and offer your neighbours yard work for a donation to your fundraising cause.   
·         Put on a BBQ for your family and friends.  Instead of asking them to contribute food and 
      drink, ask for a donation to your MS fundraising efforts.
·         Put on a fireworks show for your street on Victoria Day.  Ask for donations instead of contributions.  Remember to stay safe!
·         Or just take the extra day off to relax and enjoy your free time, long weekends don’t come around that often.
