Sorry Queen Victoria, May Two-Four Is for To-Do’s This Year

Maybe it’s because Mother Nature skipped spring this year and just gave us more winter. It seem Canadians have some overdue chores to catch up on.

According to a recent survey conducted by Canadian Tire, 87% of us plan to do some home improvement this long weekend. 

Apparently industrious Ontarians will spend an average of eight hours getting their homes ready for the long-overdue summer.

Some may be planning to save the revelry as a reward for a job well done, leaving the beer and BBQ for a little later on in the Victoria Day long weekend (when there’s finally patio furniture to sit on).

Let this motivate you!

71% getting their gardens in order

56% setting up patio furniture or play structures and cleaning windows

53% putting away winter stuff and generally getting things organized
