Family Day, which was recently celebrated in many provinces throughout Canada, encourages residents to spend additional quality time with their families and highlights the importance of family relationships. In 2024, three-quarters (75%) of Canadians reported having a high level of satisfaction with their family relationships.
Canadians who reported having high satisfaction with their family relationships were more likely to report having better overall well-being, according to several indicators from Canada's Quality of Life Framework. They were also more likely to report being hopeful about the future and less likely to report having poor mental health.
Satisfaction with family relationships also varied geographically. For example, residents of Newfoundland and Labrador were more likely to report having high satisfaction with their family relationships (82%) than those of Ontario (75%) and British Columbia (72%).
