From Wikipedia
In parts of Canada, Family Day is a statutory holiday occurring on a Monday in February. In the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island (PEI) and Saskatchewan, it is observed on the third Monday of February; in the provinces of Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the holiday is instead termed Louis Riel Day, Nova Scotia Heritage Day and Islander Day respectively. British Columbia (BC) began observing Family Day on the second Monday of February in 2013. Two-thirds of Canadians live in a province that observes a February statutory holiday. Except in British Columbia, Family Day coincides with Presidents' Day in the United States.
So BC observes Family day a week early. This must be because their families are special.

It is Quebec that doesn't celebrate Family Day. I wouldn't get it anyways. I work for the federal gov't in Canada and we don't get that day off. It is funny, everybody is off except the federal gov't.

What can I say, we are "special" here in BC.  No idea why our Lovely Premier decided on a day that the rest of the continent is closed. It is being suggested to change it. I don't really care, I have the day off. |
