Islander Day

**Islander Day in Canada** is a public holiday celebrated in the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI) on the third Monday in February. Established in 2009, Islander Day was created to provide residents with a mid-winter break, similar to Family Day observed in other Canadian provinces. The holiday is a time for Islanders to relax, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy winter activities. It also serves as an opportunity to celebrate the unique culture, history, and community spirit of Prince Edward Island. Events and activities, such as festivals, outdoor sports, and community gatherings, are often organized to mark the occasion. Islander Day reflects the province's commitment to promoting well-being and fostering a sense of pride among its residents.
