About National Family Week

Each fall, during the first week of October, Canadians in communities across the country come together for local celebrations during National Family Week. The week provides an opportunity to celebrate families and reflect on their importance in our lives.

The campaign was initiated, and coordinated for over 20 years, by Family Service Canada.

Since 2007, the Canadian Association of Family Resource Programs has assumed the coordination role and, together with other National Family Week partners, offers resources relating to an annual theme including ideas for fun activities that families can do together.
