📚World Read Aloud Day📚

Celebrated on the first Wednesday of February, this year’s theme is “Celebrate Learning”.

This day is about more than just reading – it’s about the art and practice of reading aloud. Long before writing existed, stories were shared orally, passing down knowledge, insight, and creativity from generation to generation. By reading aloud today, we keep this rich tradition alive while promoting literacy and a love of learning.

How will you celebrate today?

✨ 2026 feels like a milestone worth celebrating. ✨

This year marks 10 years of Functional Therapy Inc.—and I also turn 50. In 2025, I celebrated 25 years as a physical therapist after graduating from the University of Alberta, and reflecting back feels both grounding and surreal.

I started Functional Therapy as a solo private consultant, working in schools, family homes, and communities—while raising three kids and learning (as I went) how to build a business rooted in connection, collaboration, and family-centred care. Many of those early years were full, challenging, and a bit of a blur.

Growth didn’t happen alone. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work alongside talented clinicians, educators, leaders, and mentors who helped shape what Functional is today.

Now, with an amazing team of 28 employees and 20+ subcontractors, we’re continuing to grow, learn, and evolve—always guided by our values and our commitment to children, families, and communities.

So grateful for the journey, the people, and what’s ahead in 2026 ✈️

📚Family Literacy Day📚

Family Literacy Day is celebrated every year on January 27th to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

This year’s theme is “make mealtime family learning time”
Whether it’s following a recipe, making shopping lists, or sharing stories at the dinner table, mealtime can be a fun way to learn together!

This Sunday, January 4th , we recognize Ribbon Skirt Day.

Ribbon Skirt Day began after Isabella Kulak, a 10-year-old Indigenous girl from Saskatchewan, was shamed for wearing her ribbon skirt to school on a formal wear day. What started as a painful moment became a powerful movement celebrating Indigenous identity, resilience, and pride.

Ribbon skirts are beautiful cultural garments made by Indigenous women and hold deep meaning connected to culture, tradition, and community. This day is an opportunity to honour those traditions, show support, and learn more.

Functional Therapy Inc. shares this to uplift Indigenous voices and encourage learning, respect, and celebration of Indigenous cultures and histories.
