VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - An online petition is aiming to give B.C. a statutory holiday in February in honour of the 2010 winter Olympics.
Petition creator Kate Holmes is proposing the third Monday of every February be called 'Glowing Hearts Day'. "Having a day to help celebrate and remember our great Olympic experience, it sort of morphed into a provincial holiday, because I know lots of people in B.C. have been hoping for a February holiday anyway. So, we just thought we could capitalize on that and really make it our own."
B.C. doesn't have a February holiday even though other provinces celebrate Family Day, Louis Riel Day and Islander Day. So far there are over 400 online signatures.
