1.      The celebration of Victoria Day is associated with the arrival of summer.
2.      In many parts of Canada, it is still spring as the trees are just beginning to leaf out.
3.      This weekend, avid gardeners flock to greenhouses to buy bedding plants for their gardens to ensure a good start on summer.
