Your Guide to Mother’s Day in Ontario
Mother’s Day: Sunday May 12, 2024
Another spring, another Mother’s Day in Ontario is here. We are going out on a limb and say we don’t think your mom wants a weighted blanket. We know your mother wants to continue to get back to doing the things she loves. After breakfast in bed, your mom wants to go out and do something fun because the sun has been shining and the birds having been singing.
Mother’s Day is extra special in Canada because of it’s timing. Spring is a time of rejuvenation, spring blooms and warmer weather. It’s a happy time to go out in the sunshine and keep rebuilding our relationships after the pandemic.
What you’ll find below are just a few ideas from our events and activities tagged for Mother’s Day in our events calendar.
Admittedly, we might be biased but we think Ontario Moms are the coolest Moms out there. Moms in Ontario are fortunate to have a ton of things to do. This means that no matter what your mom likes to do, there is something for you to get for her that she will love, and maybe you will too!
Some of these experiences and Mother’s Day events are near you, or worth the drive. Why not make part of the gift a roadtrip?
