Family is extremely important to everyone here at the Rocca Sisters Team office. That is why we enjoy Family Day each year – a special day to be grateful for our loved ones and to spend a day enjoying each other’s company. This year, Family Day falls on Monday, February 18th, 2013. While public offices such as schools and banks are closed, most tourist attractions, stores & restaurants are open and ready for you to enjoy!

The wonderful City of Burlington has many exciting activities offered on Family Day for the members of the community, both indoors and outdoors, and for all ages. Enjoy the outdoors at the Waterfront in Downtown Burlington where there will be ice skating (weather permitting) from 10am to 10pm at Rotary Centennial Pond. Looking to take the kids on an adventure? Family Day Weekend is also the Ontario Family Fishing Winter Weekend. From February 16th to 18th, Canadian residents can enjoy all the fun of fishing throughout Ontario without requiring a license – so brave the cold and experience the joys of ice fishing!
There are also indoor events being offered throughout Burlington for both children and adults. On February 18th, the Ron Edwards Family YMCA will be hosting a free open house from 8am to 5pm offering a variety of family activities and fitness classes from 10am to 2pm. There will also be public swimming and family beach volleyball. Visit the YMCA website, www.ymcahbb.ca, for more details and a full schedule of the day’s activities.

For adults, February 17th is the jump off of to ‘A Taste of Burlington’. This event runs until March 10th and features a large number of Burlington restaurants that offer a fixed price lunch and/or dinner menu that includes an appetizer, entre, dessert & coffee/tea. Come and enjoy this incredible opportunity to savor the different foods and flavours offered by Burlington’s finest restaurants!

Whatever you end up doing this Family Day weekend, whether it is an exciting excursion or some peaceful rest and relaxation time at home – from our family to yours, we wish you a safe and happy family day!
