FAMILY DAY holiday?
WHAT IS FAMILY DAY?

http://www.premier.gov.on.ca/news/Pr...ProductID=1703

Premier Dalton McGuinty got back to work today on behalf of hard-working Ontario families by confirming that he would create a new statutory holiday this February called Family Day. "There is nothing more valuable to families than time together. And yet it seems tougher than ever to find, with so many of us living such busy lives," McGuinty said.
"That's why, on the third Monday of this coming February — and every February from now on — Ontarians deserve a new statutory holiday — Family Day."
Adding Family Day to the calendar would give Ontario workers and families a total of nine statutory holidays per year, putting the province on par with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
In addition, although not recognized as a statutory holiday under the Employment Standards Act, the first Monday in August is observed as a civic holiday in many Ontario municipalities.

I think what you've got in there is good...but you need a little bit more of an intro!

Something along the lines of where the hell did this family day thing come from...only consisting of a couple more lines.
