In Alberta, B.C., New Brunswick, Ontario and Saskatchewan, Feb. 20 is Family Day. Manitoba celebrates Louis Riel Day, Nova Scotia has Nova Scotia Heritage Day and Prince Edward Island enjoys Islander Day. The third Monday of February is a statutory holiday in every province, aside from Quebec and the three territories (although the Yukon celebrates Yukon Heritage Day on Friday).
