National Cousins Day Jul 24, 2026

National Cousins Day

Today is National Cousins Day—a perfect excuse to reconnect with the people who know your family stories best and probably helped create a few of them. Fittingly, Canadians mark the day alongside their neighbour and, you could say, cousin to the south: the United States. Whether you grew up at the cottage, camping, skating or gathering for a long weekend barbecue, cousins often share some of life"s best memories.
