Sit back and relax while getting a couples massage
A couples massage therapy session is a great treat for a couple on any occasion, but especially Valentine’s Day! This treatment takes place in a room lit with candles and very soothing music while two therapists work in a coordinated way so that you and your partner are able to stay in tune with each other. Integrated Therapies is a great spot to book a couples massage—book here!

For you and the kids
Visit the Silver Skate Festival
This winter, the Silver Skate Festival is offering an abundance of DIY winter-friendly experiences and challenges that are as diverse as the people who call our Northern community home. Explore the river valley, go for a skate, make a snow angel or visit a winter patio. Winter is magical, and it is even better on Valentine’s Day. It’s free—so just head on over to Hawrelak Park to celebrate!
Buy some non-alcoholic drinks from Above Average Drinks
Treat yourself to some of Above Average Drinks’ alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks while your kids can also sip on something tasty! A first of its kind, Above Average Drinks is now offering a non-alcoholic version of their well sought after cocktails. You can pick up those cocktails directly from Biera itself! Order them here.
Grab an at-home Fondue Kit from Biera
If you are already picking up your Above Average Drinks from Biera, why not also pick up an at-home Fondue Kit, too? Each year, Biera comes up with a unique way to celebrate Valentine’s Day from home—and this year’s fondue kit looks incredible. Take a look for yourself!
Go tubing at the Sunridge
If you look back on your childhood, it is likely that you have fond memories going tubing. Make this Valentine’s Day extra special for you and the kiddos when you take them to Sunridge for tubing! With a dedicated tubing lift (so you don’t have to walk up the hill), three groomed chutes down one of our main hills, and special tubes provided by us, you won’t find a better activity for your family. Learn more and book.
For YOU!
Who says you can’t spend the day celebrating yourself? Treat yo’ self to some of the following things!
Embrace your natural beauty and head to Thrive Beauty Co.
At Thrive Beauty Co., you will be pampered just like you deserve. At this modern studio, you can get eyelash lift and tints, eyebrow tinting or microblading, and a large variety of medical grade skincare regimens. Take a look at Thrive Beauty Co.’s site to see if anything is up your alley.
Treat yourself to some Destination Doughnuts
There is nothing like picking up a treat from your favourite bakery and taking it home to enjoy it alone, on the couch, while watching your favourite TV show. Located on 124th Street, Destination Doughnuts is home to some of the most unique donut flavours you can imagine. What’s more—they are even offering Hearts & Hugs donuts for Valentine’s Day.
Get some cat cuddles at the Wee Book Inn
There is something soothing about walking around a bookstore for hours and reading the backs of books until you find something you want to read. And what makes it even better (and a bit more distracting) is when there is a cat asking for scratches! At the Wee Book Inn, you will have exactly that experience. Sounds like a perfect Valentine’s Day to us!
Whatever you get up to this Valentine’s Day, we hope you have a fulfilling day, celebrating in ways that make you feel loved. From the TruHome family to yours, we wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day!
