Ok the official name for the holiday is Victoria Day. Celebrating the longest reigning monarch. However for Canucks it is normally called the May 24 weekend. A 2 4 is a normal 24 pack of beer. This is the weekend that everyone with a cottage goes to it and opens up for the summer season. Normally it is the first warm long weekend so a lot of beer is usually consumed. 24 = normal case of beer, 12 = 12 pack or just called a 12, 6 = poverty pack (means your broke).
There are few that call the weekend by its proper name, but most use the one I used.
