In the U.S. we have Memorial Day; the semi-official beginning of summer in Canada is Victoria Day weekend (May 16-19, 2008), which also happens to be the weekend of Victoria, B.C.'s Garden City Moustache Ride, presented by the Capital City Scooter Club. You can see the itinerary here.
Victoria being a major tourist destination, and Victoria Day weekend being a big holiday, if you wanna go you should make hotel reservations now. Tourism Victoria's Web site has information about getting there, accommodations and things to do.
