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.

It's no secret our company provides appliance repair service in Victoria BC. But there's more than just that to explain the reason behind our branding. Like our service results, we wish to be as straightforward and transparent with our clients as possible. We don't beat around the bush when it comes to presenting tailored solutions to our customers in need of them. We're honest and straight to the point. And so is our business name.

Our company is called Appliance Repair Victoria because we see ourselves as the ultimate solution to all appliance repair needs in Victoria. However, there's a bit of history behind the choosing of our business name that we've never shared publicly before. But we're sharing it here, today, on our very first blog post, for the world to know.

The real reason we chose Appliance Repair Victoria as the name of our company is the same reason the City of Victoria itself was name. In fact, when creating our business model back in 1988, we even considered name the company "Queen Victoria Appliance Repair". Also, "Appliance Repair, Victoria!" was a consideration, but, like we said, we like to get straight to the point, so "Appliance Repair Victoria" was our final choice, and it's the same name we've had for nearly 40 years.

Queen Victoria died in the year 1901. We weren't alive when that happened, but our grandparents were, and they made sure we knew about it. Queen Victoria was often described as being warmhearted and friendly. That's exactly how we strive to be when we serve our customers. We're grateful for the amazing city, and want to show that thanks by paying homage to its history and heritage. We love Queen Victoria, and without her, we wouldn't have such an awesome business name.

So thank you Queen Victoria, for being the inspiration behind the naming of our glorious, clean, and cultured city, and for inspiring history to create such a lovely city in the first place. And thank you, our beloved reader, for caring enough to read and for visiting our new blog. We hope to turn this blog into an informative source for appliance-related consumer information over the years to come, so stay tuned.
