Sunday is Father's Day and of course there may well be some hurdles this year due to the pandemic.
Physical distancing measures and different interaction guidelines may be in place depending on the province or territory and the region.
Event planner Karen Garscadden says there are a number of ways to make Dad feel special even if an in-person visit may come with caveats.
She suggests setting up a family mini-Olympics with activities like croquet or games like ``Charades'' or ``Name That Tune,'' so people can distance if needed and avoid sharing equipment.
Other ideas included homemade lawn art, personalized signs and posters, or arranging a hike, golf or fishing day.
Garscadden adds that washing Dad's car or mowing the lawn for him might also be a nice touch.
If you can't get together with Dad in person, she suggests trying an online caterer to deliver a Father's Day meal.
For many, Sunday will also be a day for family members to remember Dad or Grandpa if they're no longer with us.
