Happy Victoria Day from Appliance Repair Victoria

From Chali, Tom, Tim, Fred, and all the other behind-the-scenes staff at Appliance Repair Victoria, we wish everyone in British Columbia a happy Victoria Day. Today, we want to celebrate the heritage of our city, Victoria, and all the sacrifice it took to build this glorious civilization we enjoy today.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, Happy Victoria Day! If you read our very first blog post from Feb 22nd, 2024 - "Why is our business called Appliance Repair Victoria?" - then you would know that this day means a lot to us. Appliance Repair Victoria takes its name from not only the City of Victoria but Queen Victoria as well. And Victoria Day - or May 24th - actually used to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, and until 1977 it was known as Commonwealth Day and it was a day celebrated across all the former colonies of the British Empire like Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. A lot of the history that comes out of the Victorian Era is brutal and should not be repeated, but a lot of it is also very beautiful and lead to peace, prosperity, science, and understanding that Canada benefits from today. We here at Appliance Repair Victoria do not feel ashamed whatsoever to be in a company operating in a city all named after that glorious woman - Queen Victoria. Happy Birthday, Your Majesty.

May the City of Victoria and all who share that name raise a smile on this wonderful day. And let's continue to make Victoria one of the best cities in the world to live in.
