The May Long Weekend is here!

20 May The May Long Weekend is here!

Finally, the long weekend is here!  As a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, we celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday.  Victoria Day is always on a Monday, and thus the holiday is part of a long weekend, which is commonly referred to as the Victoria Day Weekend, the May Long Weekend or the May Two-Four (affectionately referring to a “two-four” of beer as many of these are consumed over the holiday).

***Brampton Meals on Wheels is Closed on Holiday Monday***

Like the banks, post office and schools, Brampton Meals on Wheels is also closed on Monday, the 23rd of May.  We will be back to our regular delivery schedule on Tuesday, May 24th.  You should also note that public transportation in Brampton will run on a holiday schedule.

This long weekend usually involves family, friends, gardening, opening up pools and cottages, fireworks and generally getting ready for the summer season.  We hope the weather holds up and we get to enjoy some more sunshine!  We certainly need it.

As we wrap up this Friday afternoon, we are pleased to announce that our Volunteers delivered over 900+ meals this week.  If you know of someone in your family, in your neighbourhood or in your community that can benefit from our Hot or Frozen Meal Programs, please refer them to Brampton Meals on Wheels.  We appreciate the referrals and helping those in need in our community.

On behalf of everyone at Brampton Meals on Wheels, we hope you enjoy the long weekend and we’ll be back in touch next week.  If you have any suggestions or questions, please reach out to us on our website Contact Form or call us at 905-453-4140 ext. 3720, Monday to Friday from 8am to 1pm.  We are focused on making our services more accessible and committed to our clients satisfaction.  Thanks for being here!
