Why Have a Week for Families?

National Family Week is a time when organizations, businesses, government, schools, communities and families can focus on the importance of families in Canadian life.

Through events and celebrations during National Family Week, we can celebrate family life, encourage families to spend more time together and help create a more family-friendly culture throughout Canada.

Why Participate?

There are so many benefits to participating in National Family Week. Special events this week present opportunities to reach target audiences, increase visibility, involve the community, distribute information and raise awareness.

By holding an event to celebrate National Family Week your organization will:

• Connect with the community you serve.
• Attract media attention to your programs and services.
• Strengthen your image as a community leader.
• Enhance your relationship with community leaders, funders, local and provincial representatives, and other key individuals and groups.

Most importantly, by participating in National Family Week, you’ll help connect families and kids in your
community to the opportunities, networks, support and services that enable them to succeed.
