Government House is marking the arrival of summer with a family-friendly outdoor celebration on Victoria Day.
The event, which runs Monday, May 19 from 1 to 4 p.m., will feature a classic car show, a petting zoo, and refreshments on the grounds of the historic site.
“Spending Victoria Day at Government House is the perfect way to kick off the season,” said Eric Schmalz, minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission. “Bring family and friends and celebrate the warmer months ahead with an afternoon of outdoor activities on the great lawns which surround this historic site.”
As part of the seasonal launch, Government House is now open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitor experience hosts will be on site throughout the summer to welcome guests.
Along with the Victoria Day festivities, the public is encouraged to explore the site’s gardens, the Amédée Forget Museum and the latest exhibit at the Queen Elizabeth II Art Gallery.
