This an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom, which is guaranteed them under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Hitler was famous for burning books by people he disagreed with (or who disagreed with him!) This is just one of the rights people have fought for.

If you are looking for some Family Week Activities....Here is a link to National Flag Day (Feb. 15) and some kid-friendly things to do! https://www.canada.ca//teachers-cor/activity-kit-5-12.html

National Make A Friend Day! Good friends don't let you do stupid things...alone. You don't have to be crazy to be my friend. But it helps.... We'll be friends forever because you already know too much. True friendship: Walking into a persons house and your wifi connects automatically. My best friends and I played a game of hide and seek. It went on for hours because good friends are hard to find. Why did the Owl invite his friends over? He didn't want to be Owl by himself. What do you call a skeleton with no friends? Bonely. "Friendship must be built on a solid foundation of alcohol, sarcasm, inappropriateness and shenanigans." - Unknown.
