Mother's Day is an annual occasion observed in Canada to express love and gratitude towards the extraordinary women in our lives who brought us into the world, nurtured us, and selflessly dedicated themselves to our well-being. This special day is not only celebrated by showering mothers with affection and tokens of appreciation, but also by honouring the influence of maternal figures, such as grandmothers, stepmothers, and foster mothers, who contribute to the betterment of society by fostering the growth of the next generation. The concept of Mother's Day dates back to the early 20th century, inspired by American social activist Anna Jarvis and her campaign to honour her own mother in 1905. Following her successful efforts to establish the holiday in the United States, Mother's Day gradually gained popularity across the world, including in Canada. Today, this festive occasion offers an opportunity for families to come together, share stories, and acknowledge the invaluable sacrifices, love, wisdom, and resilience that mothers embody. In Canada, Mother's Day, like in several other countries, is observed on the second Sunday of May each year. It is a time for showering our beloved maternal figures with gifts, cards, flowers, and other expressions of gratitude, reinforcing the importance of recognizing and cherishing the remarkable women that enrich our lives with their unwavering care and support.
