Province funding activities for Family Day

With the COVID-19 restrictions being eased this week, families will have even more to enjoy for Family Day on Monday, Feb. 21, a statutory holiday.

Melanie Mark, minister of Tourism Arts, Culture and Sport, says the province is supporting free, family-friendly activities.

“Taking time to celebrate with loved ones and making memories together is priceless. Now that the restrictions on gatherings have been lifted, I encourage you to check out the links below for free family-friendly activities happening in your community this weekend,” said Mark

The B.C. government has invested annually to support free community activities in recognition of the provincial holiday. In 2022, the province is providing $229,000 for online and physically distanced in-person activities hosted by recreation centres, parks, cultural centres and museums Feb. 18-21.

A list of activity options by community can be found on the BC Recreation and Parks Association and the BC Museums Association websites. Choices range in each community from sledding and skating to crafting and scavenger hunts.
