Father’s Day Holiday History In Canada

The history of Father’s Day in Canada is connected to that of this celebration in the USA. When Anna Jarvis did all she could to name a Mother’s Day in the country, Sonora Smart Dodd of Alaska wished to honour her father the same way. It was first observed in the Spokane YMCA in 1910. Before that, a commemoration of Father’s Day was held in Monongah. It was in honour of all the men and fathers who died in the Monongah Mining Disaster.

Before the 20th century, Father’s Day in Canada was only a religious commemoration brought home by the European settlers. These included the Sunday of the Forefathers (December) from the Orthodox Churches or the feast day of Saint Joseph (March) from Catholic Europe. The modern celebrations owe their origin to Dodd and the passing of the law in 1972. The commemoration had become quite popular around that time in the USA and soon was observed in Canada as well.

Public Life on Father’s Day in Canada

The public life on Father’s Day in Canada is not any different from other countries. Although it is not a designated holiday, it falls on a Sunday, which is a day-off for most of the people.

People often plan father-son or father-daughter activities throughout the day, along with giving them presents, and dinner together. Let us take a look at what events and presents you can gift your papa or father-figure on Father’s Day in Canada:

  • Camping: The country is so close to nature, and filled with gorgeous parks, forests, hills, and mountains to go trekking and camping on Father’s Day in Canada. So pack your gear and connect with nature with your dad.


  • Fishing: If this is something that you and your dad used to enjoy, but rarely have the time, for now, go for it! With the world’s largest proportion of freshwater lakes, the country offers you a plethora of places to choose from. Spend the weekend at a fly-in fishing lodge and try to catch a big one with your dad.


  • Rent an RV and go. Take your siblings and your dad and spend your time frolicking on Father’s Day in Canada. The countryside, the urban areas, your favourite places, maybe somewhere you went when you were kids: Simply choose wherever, or don’t, and go!


  • Golfing: Yes, another cliche! But honestly, doesn’t your father love it? There are so many types of golf and golf courses to choose from, and you can even go someplace exotic within the country to play.


  • Dinner: Obviously, planning a Father’s Day dinner is just as important as the other activities. Go to his favourite restaurant, or schedule a barbeque if you guys are outdoors. Maybe you can even arrange a scrumptious brunch instead, at the lodge you’re staying in.


  • Go Exploring the Local: Go somewhere new and explore. Visit the local bazaars, be a proper tourist and enjoy what they have best to offer, and spend the day scouting and having fun.
