Family
is important to everyone. Although no family is “perfect”, it can be a wonderful place of growth and nurturance for its members.
In a fast paced and demanding world, it can offer a place to connect and catch our breath.
Year 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of National Family Week in Canada. National Family Week is always celebrated the
week leading up to Thanksgiving, a very appropriate connection. National Family Week is a time dedicated to recognizing and celebrating
the positives and the strengths of family.
This year’s theme is: Jump into Family Fun. During National Family Week,
October 5th -11th,
2009, strengthen your families ties; reconnect and have fun together by taking part in family activities that
nurture your bodies and your spirits.

The Family Centre of Winnipeg is proud to promote National Family Week in Manitoba.
