Everything about Journ E Nationale Des Patriotes totally explained
The
National Patriotes Day (French
Journée nationale des Patriotes) commemorates the memory of
Lower Canada Patriots' heritage in the
Canadian province of
Quebec. It is celebrated in that province on the Monday preceding May 25, the same day as
Victoria Day, a
Canadian Statutory Holiday. The holiday now officially commemorates those who struggled for democratic institutions during the
Lower Canada Rebellion, part of the
Rebellions of 1837-1838.
In 1918, almost two decades after the first celebration of Victoria Day, the
Fête de Dollard was set up by
Lionel Groulx, in honour of a 17th century French settler who was killed trying to defend a French settlement against
Iroquois attackers. The day later became a statutory holiday under both federal and provincial legislation. The celebration was changed to
Journée nationale des Patriotes in 2002, in part because the myth of Dollard des Ormeaux because of questions over its historical accuracy.
