A Fun Way To Celebrate Your People On Family Day Weekend!
You thought our Valentine’s Day list was fun? Well, February is just jam-packed with incredible deals at Resorts of Ontario! For over 20 years now, Ontarians have been celebrating Family Day on the third Monday in February, taking the modern statutory holiday to spend time with loved ones and do activities together. For me, Family Day is a time to reflect on how thankful I am to have certain people in my life. Not always blood related, “Family” can be anyone you love and appreciate that brings happiness, warmth and comfort to your life. Sometimes when this crazy world feels a bit too much, being in the presence of your Family can be exactly what the doctor ordered! Whether you gather around a table with a fabulous meal and share stories of days gone by, or if your way of spending quality time with each other is racing on the snow-laden slopes, we have some great suggestions on how to spend time with your loved ones this Family Day Weekend.
