World Friendship Day also known as International Friendship Day is celebrated once a year.

Thereº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s no doubt we all have that special someone we bond with a little bit more than others. Whether it be a long term childhood friend, a best friend or someone you just met a month ago, friends are people we canº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t live without. Theyº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™re there to lift you up when youº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™re feeling down and theyº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™re there to cheer you on as you go on living life.

This yearº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™s World Friendship Day was celebrated on July 30th but that didnº¦Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù™t stop the residents at the Villiage at Mill Creek care home in downtown Kelowna from sharing their thoughts on the importance of friendship.
