Give Your Dad a Holiday Gift This Father’s Day

Father’s Day is the perfect time to show appreciation for our fathers' hard work and dedication. While Mother's Day often takes centre stage, Father's Day is equally important, celebrating the usually unspoken love and composure that fathers bring to our lives. Observed every third Sunday of June, this special day provides an opportunity to honour the father figures who have always been there, even during leisure times. This year, Father’s Day falls on June 16, 2024. To make this day extra special, consider giving your father a holiday (remember how he always used to take you for a holiday in your childhood?
