Halloween:
Halloween Holiday celebrated on Oct. 31 is the evening of All Saints' Day , observed with traditional games and customs enjoyed by children all around the world. The word Halloween comes from medieval England's All Hallows' eve. Witches and other evil spirits were believed to roam the earth on Halloween evening, playing tricks on human beings especially on kids. Bonfires were lit, offerings were made of dainty foods and sweets, and people would disguise themselves as one of the roaming spirits, to avoid demonic persecution. Survivals of these early practices can be found in countries of Celtic influence today, such as the United States where children go from door to door in costumes demanding “trick or treat” to receive candies and money lately, and because of that Halloween has after Christmas Holiday become children's favorite holiday.

Canada Day:
Canada Day celebrates the events that
occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British
North America Act created the Canadian
federal government. The British North
America Act proclaimed "one Dominion
under the name of Canada," hence the
original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day."
Dominion Day was officially renamed
"Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on
October 27, 1982. This change reflected the
policy of successive governments to down
play Canada's colonial origins.
Canada's national celebration is always
observed on July 1, unless that date falls on
a Sunday. Experience the story of the
country , as told through original music,
giant images and spectacular lighting
effects. Living in a vast, bilingual and
multicultural country. Also Canadians have
become some of the best communicators in
the world. Share the songs, poems, stories
and visions that highlight many of our
cultural and technological achievements. Go
celebrate the spirit of a country!

ViCtoRia Day:
Several Canadian cities hold a parade in honour of the holiday, with the most famous being in the monarch's namesake city of Victoria, British Columbia. This holiday is also often celebrated with fireworks shows.
In Canada, Victoria Day unofficially marks the end of the "winter season" and, thus, the beginning of "Summer". Banff's Sunshine Village, renowned for its lengthy ski season unofficially ends Winter with the Slush Cup, an event that is held annually on Victoria Day. This long weekend also signifies the beginning of spring to gardeners throughout much of the country, as it falls around the time when they can be fairly certain frost will not return until the next autumn or winter.
In some parts of Canada, the holiday is colloquially known as May Two-Four. This phrase has two meanings: the holiday always falls near the date of May 24, and a two-four is Canadian slang for a case of 24 bottles of beer, a common packaging of the drink in Canada
