We at the Huffington Post Canada love Valentine’s Day. Now, before you click away from this page, hear us out.
Eating pasta drenched in rosé sauce as you make eyes at your loved one is a perfectly good way to spend the day, but we don’t think it's the only option.
In our opinion, Valentine’s is a reminder of how important love is in all of our lives.
Whether you express that love through special dinners, an organ transplant, or just a phone call instead of a text, there are so many ways we show our loved ones and communities we care and are willing to put in that extra effort.
So we’ve collected stories and photos from all over the web that showcase the best of what love means to us, and to you.
Hover over the heart to see them. If you're on mobile, keep scrolling to see all the examples we've collected.
