I was interested so I googled family day and came up with this: http://www.statutoryholidays.com/family-day.php "Common Family Day activities include skating, playing hockey, snowboarding/skiing and going to various winter festivals. But the best best thing about of Family Day must be beaver tails and stuffing ourselves silly with pancakes with maple syrup!" Could this website *be* any more Canadian? lolol dgswaim and MVSCZAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... it just happens that the logical "or" applies in this case. Both happen, so in the truth-functional sense of "or" we can truthfully answer "yes" to your question. Beyond that, it depends on the program. Some all at once. Some staggered. So, to answer your question again: yes.

That's how I'm feeling with this conversation. Siegfried42, perpetuavix and jjb919 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
