About Family Day

Family Day is a provincial holiday on the third Monday of February, so it falls between 15 and 21 February. It fills the long gap between New Year's Day and Good Friday with a winter three-day weekend.

Alberta introduced it in 1990, Ontario in 2008 and British Columbia in 2013. British Columbia first held it on the second Monday of February and moved it to the third Monday from 2019, so the three provinces on this site now share the same date. It is a statutory holiday under the employment standards law of each of the three provinces.

Family Day is not a general holiday under the Canada Labour Code, so federally regulated workplaces such as banks may stay open, and Quebec has no holiday in February. The Canada (federal) and Quebec pages on this site count that Monday as a working day. As a Monday holiday it never needs a substitute day.
