Did You Know? At Victory Cigars, we celebrate McLaughlin Day by taking the day off. Thanks Sam!
“Civic Holiday” is now known by one of a number of local appellations such as:
- Colonel By Day in Ottawa,
- George Hamilton Day in Hamilton,

- Founders’ Day in Brantford,
- McLaughlin Day in Oshawa,
- Alexander Mackenzie Day in Sarnia,

Little known fact; The building that houses Victory Cigars and The SPA on King was built in 1923. The Cutler family dwelled here and the man of the house worked for Samuel McLaughlin and the lady of the house was Oshawa’s librarian.
Wishing you a happy and fun long weekend with lots of roasted marshmallows and toasted cigars!
