Grandparents’ Day was introduced in Canada in 1995 to recognize the love, support, and wisdom grandparents bring to families and society. Championed by MP Sarkis Assadourian, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of September. The day encourages intergenerational connection, respect, and appreciation for the vital role grandparents play. Inspired by the U.S. version started in 1978, Grandparents’ Day highlights the importance of honoring seniors and strengthening family bonds across generations.
