Fathers everywhere will be basking in the limelight this Sunday. And well they should be.
Where would the world be without them, their steadying influence and levelling leadership?
With love and dedication, fathers can give their children the priceless gifts of self-confidence, self-esteem and security, all of which are needed to achieve the best that is in each and every person.
Good fathers deserve the accolades they’ll receive this weekend. Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show appreciation for the dads in our lives with a day full of connection, nature and a touch of adventure.
Start the day with a hearty breakfast or brunch at his favourite local establishment. From there, embrace the great outdoors, whether it’s a scenic hike to Valentine Mountain for sweeping views of the Salish Sea, a serene walk or paddle around Inland Lake, or walking barefoot on the sands of Donkersley and/or Palm beaches. How about a swim? Are we ready for that yet?
Visit Powell River Farmers’ Market in the afternoon (12:30 to 2:30 pm) to browse local crafts, fresh produce and to buy dad a treat from a local vendor. Many have unique gifts that fit well with Father’s Day, from hand-carved wood items and paintings to homemade sweet and savoury edibles.
Wrap up the day with a barbecue at home or step out to one of the many restaurants that are ready to welcome dads and their families to mark the end of a memorable day. He may need to work in a nap at some point if doing all of the above.
Father’s Day isn’t about extravagant plans, it’s about spending meaningful time together. Celebrate dads with the gift of presence and gratitude for all they do.
