In parts of Canada, Family Day is a public (or statutory) holiday in the three Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario; occurring on the third Monday in February. In the provinces of Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, the statutory holiday on this date is instead termed Louis Riel Day and Islander Day, respectively. The timing of Family Day coincides with Presidents Day in the United States.
