Grandparents Day is celebrated in Queensland on the first Sunday of November each year, and is a chance for grandchildren, children and the community to thank grandparents for their love and support.

In 2012, Grandparents Day will be on Sunday 4 November.

As part of Grandparents Day celebrations, grandchildren are encouraged to thank their grandparents and let them know how much they care.

Schools and community groups are also encouraged to hold events and activities to recognise the important contribution of grandparents.

Grandparents Day is a commitment under the Queensland Government's Positively Ageless - Queensland Seniors Strategy 2010-20.
