Family Day

 Introduction and Origin-

Family day is celebrated on the third Monday of every February and was first celebrated in 1990. It took nearly two decades for other provinces began to create the holiday known as Family Day. Alberta was the only province to have a statutory holiday in February until Saskatchewan began observing it on 2007. The holiday was proclaimed by Lieutenant Governor Helen Hunley, on the advice of her premier, Don Getty. Premier Getty said it was important for Albertans to spend time with their families and this holiday would emphasize the importance of family values. Getty faced considerable criticism at the time many employers felt that an additional statutory holiday was an unnecessary financial burden. Ontario and British Columbia observed this day in year 2008 and 2019 respectively. The same Day is a Statuary Holiday in three other provinces and on the territory for different reasons. Manitoba celebrates Louis Riel Day, Nova Scotia and Yukon celebrate Heritage Day, Prince Edward people celebrate Islander Day since the holiday falls smack dab in the middle of one of the coldest months of the year.
