The first long weekend of the summer(ish) season is here and even though Quebec doesn't call it Victoria Day (it's the Journée nationale des patriotes), Quebecers certainly appreciate the day off. 

So whether you want to celebrate the queen or simply chill in the park on your day off, some things won't be operating. Here's what's open and closed on May 24.
