Day 2

National Family Week has been celebrated since 1985 when it was proclaimed an official week by the Government of Canada. It is always the week before Thanksgiving, which is a time of family togetherness.


This year, National Family Week will take place from October 3 to 9, 2005. The theme is:
Nurturing the Spirit of Family in Our Communities


National Family Week is a time to recognize and celebrate all the qualities that make families special. This year’s theme looks at the underlying spirit that brings family members together and makes the family such an important source of nurture and development for individuals.


The spirit of family is about sharing with loved ones and taking care of people. It is about being inclusive, showing respect for others and understanding that everyone has something to offer. It is about passing on knowledge and wisdom between generations.


This theme also gives us an opportunity to recognize, honour, strengthen and celebrate the innate value of families as a source of well-being for individuals, communities and our nation.
National Family Week is a chance to rediscover the spirit of family in our own lives and find ways to direct these strengths and values outwards to make our communities better places for everyone.
