Love Holidays from Around the World

4. Family Day – Canada
This rather new statutory holiday celebrating familial love has only been celebrated in Canada since 2000. It was started in the province of Alberta, where it was introduced as a way to give workers a break during the long, cold winter, and encourage them to spend more time with their families.
Although it’s still not celebrated widely, many people across Canada have started to use this long weekend as an chance to get out of the city and spend time with their family. It falls on the second or third Monday in February, the exact date varies province to province.
