Canadians have come up with a really nice idea and possibly another way to get the whole family to sit down to dinner together.
The Canadian province of Ontario is getting a new holiday — Family Day to be observed the third Monday in February.
Premier Dalton McGuinty announced Thursday he was adding a ninth holiday to the province's official list, issuing an executive order to make good on a campaign promise.
"Families are busier than ever," McGuinty said. "That's why we committed to creating a new long weekend in February by introducing a new statutory holiday."
Most workers are entitled to take the day off with regular pay. Businesses that do open are obligated to pay holiday pay.
I think we need a "Family Day" holiday too...what do you think?

I agree! Maybe if we had a day that was designated a "family day" we would try and make an effort to spend more time with family. This could eventually prove a great idea, because now a days with family being so busy, kids forget just how important spending time with your family is.
