Enjoy the break between New Year’s and Easter while emphasizing the importance of family life, this Family Day. Even though Canada is celebrating family day on two different dates, no need to worry, there are plenty of family day events to please your family.

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario celebrate family day on the third Monday of the February while British Columbia has chosen to celebrate it on the second Monday in February.

A private member’s bill to establish family day on the third Monday in February was introduced in 1994 by Bob Chisholm in BC legislature. And subsequently BC’s first family day was observed on February 18, 2013. B.C. designated the second Monday of February as a statutory holiday in 2013, following the steps of Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta where the mid winter holiday takes place on the third Monday of the month.

Now, let us see how Canada celebrates family day!!

Family day is called islander day in Prince Edward’s island, heritage day in Nova Scotia and Yukon. Although the government and many businesses are closed on this day, it is not a statutory holiday.
