Victoria Day is our oldest statutory holiday, going back 170 years. It was first observed in Canada in 1845 and since then, the way we celebrate has changed a lot. Trevor Dunn looks as some of the unique ways the holiday is celebrated in Toronto. Archival footage courtesy of the City of Toronto is also used to show people in the past celebrating Victoria Day. Original broadcast: May 18, 2015.
