It’s B.C. Family Day on February 12th, 2018. This newly added Statutory Holiday was implemented to remind us of the importance of family and to celebrate the precious time together, as a family. Careers, children, extended family, school, sports, activities, household chores, volunteering and other commitments keep us busy, for most of us… almost too busy. So, on February 12th, take the time to unwind and have some fun with your family and loved ones. Whether it’s a bike ride, nature walk or exploring a new activity, here are some of the events happening in your community.
