Recreational Dance Deadline

15

Open to both boys and girls, instructed by Emily Beelen, this recreational dance program will offer fun and fitness in an informal, recreational setting.  Proper technique will be taught.  There will be no exams or competitions.  The last class will have an opportunity for parents to view their young dancer’s achievements.  Classes are held upstairs in the Portland Community Hall.  Dancers need not have traditional dance shoes, but should wear running shoes or be prepared to dance in bare feet.  Dancers should wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle.

Parents are encouraged to drop your children off 5 minutes prior to the start of their class and pick them up at the exact time class ends.  Parents may wait in the downstairs portion of the community hall if they so desire.

Participants may be asked to purchase a Rideau Lakes Dance shirt prior to their last class to be worn for the “recital”.

Family Day in Canada – Febryary 15th

4

Family Day is observed in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan on the 15th of February. In British Columbia, Family Day falls on the second Monday of February. Family Day gives families the chance to spend time together. This holiday celebrates the importance of families and family life to people and their communities.

Activities to discover during that day…

On Family Day, many people plan and take part in activities aimed at the whole family. These include visiting art exhibitions, watching movies, skating on outdoor ice rinks, playing board games and taking part in craft activities.

As the weather is usually very cold in February, hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies are popular snacks. Other people use the long weekend as an opportunity for a short winter break or to travel to visit family members or friends.

Public Life

In the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia many people have a day off work and schools are generally closed on Family Day. Many businesses and organizations are closed, but post offices may be open. Public transport services may run to their usual or reduced timetables.

In the province of Manitoba, the third Monday of February is a general holiday, known as Louis Riel Day. Many people have a day off work and school and many businesses, organizations and stores are closed. In some communities, stores are open after noon. Public transport services may run to Sunday or holiday timetables. In rural areas, there may be no services.

Background history of the « family day »

Family Day was first held in Canada in the province of Alberta in 1990. It is supposed to reflect the values of family and home that were important to the pioneers who founded Alberta, and give workers the opportunity to spend more time with their families. Family Day was introduced in Saskatchewan in 2007 and in Ontario in 2008. British Columbia observes Family Day as a statutory holiday for the first time in 2013. One of the reasons for introducing Family Day was that there was a long period when there were no holidays from New Year’s Day until Good Friday.
