NEWS RELEASE - *Celebrate Family Day safely with loved ones*

VICTORIA To help families this long weekend, the Province is supporting
more than 200 free activities in B.C. communities.

"This year, more than ever, B.C. Family Day serves as a reminder of the
importance of family and of safely spending time with those you love," said
Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. "As we all
continue to do our part to bend the curve against COVID-19, our government
is proud to support safe, free and affordable activities for families to
enjoy in every corner of our province. As a gentle reminder this Family Day
long weekend, stay local and spread love, not COVID-19."

The B.C. government is providing more than $280,000 to support free Family
Day activities through participating recreation centres, parks, cultural
centres and museums. Families can swim or skate for free all weekend,
participate in outdoor activities, visit local museums or enjoy other
online activities. Refer to each organization's website to confirm their
reservation requirements to follow safety protocols.
