Family Day in BC is now be a week later, meaning that the Province's holiday will sync up with the rest of Canada. In 2019, Andrew, along with many other British Columbians, celebrated being able to spend their Family Day with family, instead of at the office. The success story was captured in a CTV interview and article.

Unite Family Day PEtition
Originally created to provide dedicated family time, Family Day was established in B.C. by Premier Christy Clark in 2012, falling on the 2nd Monday in February. However, this differs from the rest of Canada, who celebrate on the 3rd Monday. Unfortunately, many hardworking individuals, including business owners and employees conducting nationwide business, are unable to fully embrace Family Day due to conflicting schedules.
Andrew was a leader in the #UniteFamilyDay petition, which garnered over 18,500 supporters and abundant local media coverage. Andrew's #UniteFamilyDay Petition aimed to align this significant holiday onto the same day, for better family connections. In 2019, Family Day finally became united across the country.
