Happy Family Day British Columbians!

Why is BC Family Day unique to B.C.?

In 2012, British Columbians were asked when Family Day should fall in February. Following the largest consultation of its kind, British Columbians cast more than 31,000 votes, with the majority saying their preference was for B.C. to have its own unique day on the second Monday in February.

This year, Family Day in BC is on Monday, February 13, 2015.

BC Government is partnering with the BC Recreation and Parks Association to bring family friendly events to communities across BC. There are also lots of independent events taking place all over BC like skiing, festivals and entertainment. You can find events in your area here.
