International Day of Family Remittances HistoryInternational Day of Family Remittances (IDFR) is a globally recognized observance dedicated to acknowledging the significant financial contribution made by migrant workers to their families and home countries. It aims to promote greater awareness of the impact remittances have in improving the economic and social well-being of millions of households worldwide. The observance also encourages collaboration between public and private sectors to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of remittance services in their respective countries. In December 2017, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution declaring June 16 as International Day of Family Remittances, recognizing the importance of remittances worldwide. In Canada, remittances serve as a key source of income for families and communities of migrant workers in their home countries. According to World Bank data, Canadian migrants sent over CAD $24 billion in remittances in 2019 alone. This significant financial flow is one of the many reasons Canadians should acknowledge the importance of this day and understand the vital role that remittance plays in alleviating poverty and boosting development in less prosperous nations. In observance of International Day of Family Remittances, multiple events and initiatives are held across Canada to raise awareness and educate the public on the importance of remittance services. These activities may include panel discussions, seminars, and conferences that bring together various stakeholders such as government, financial institutions, and community organizations. By participating in these events, Canadians can better understand and appreciate the importance of this observance, support migrant workers in their essential contribution to development, and promote an environment that helps facilitate efficient and cost-effective remittance services. IDFR is observed annually on June 16th, aligning with the United Nations General Assembly's resolution. Facts about Family Remittances
