This is how Toronto celebrated Victoria Day 100 years ago Toronto VictoriaDay
is the oldest official holiday in the Canadian calendar, instituted before Confederation. First declared in 1845, it was celebrated every May 24th until Queen Victoria's death in 1901., even though he was born in the month of November. This continued until his death eight years later, when May 24 was rededicated to his mother, and just to drive the imperial message home, the day before became Empire Day.Empire Day ceremony in Toronto, 1923.

It was Empire Day in the schools that children would learn about the ideals of the British Empire. Children would gaze intently at a map of the world depicting the far-flung Empire vividly in red. Many schools began the day with outdoor pageants in parks, schoolyards or parade grounds. Wand drills and precision marching were important parts of the celebration.
