The image of dignity and fortitude, Her Majesty Queen Victoria modernized the monarchy and became the distinguishing figure of an era. She took an active interest in the affairs of her colonies and supported Canadian Confederation in 1867. Today, Canadians continue to observe an annual day of celebration dedicated to our "Mother of Confederation."
