They&#8217;re almost always full of people who have made an impact on our lives. Families consist of people who we can turn to when we\u2019re in need. And we share our most important moments with them. Immediate family, work family, extended family, travelling family. We cherish them all!<\/p>\n<p>On the 3rd Monday in February, Canadians from Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan will celebrate Family Day. We take a break each February to celebrate our loved ones, creating memories and making the most of this much needed long weekend! Some of us with will travel to see family far away, while others may spend a quiet day at home baking or playing in the snow.<\/p>\n<h2>Meet Explorica employees and their
