Family Day

On Wednesday, May 16th, Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation will conduct a conference call in order to determine a date for the new Family Day holiday in February 2013.

Dates for consideration:  Second Monday in February (February 11th, 2013) or  Third Monday in February (February 18th 2013).

There are so many places for families in British Columbia to explore and often so little time to do so. Simultaneously, Family Day provides a branding opportunity for the tourism industry by reinforcing the message to Stay and Play on Family Day. By enjoying a vacation in the province, families are supporting local businesses and contributing to BC’s economy, while at the same time discovering why British Columbia is super natural.

The United States and most other Canadian jurisdictions have a holiday on the 3rd Monday of February (February 18th, 2013).
