The Family Council of the Hong Kong government is initiating a free tram ride day this Sunday in celebration of the International Day of Families. 

Hong Kong citizens are invited to enjoy free rides on all tram routes on 14 May to explore Hong Kong Island with their families. 

The Family Council aims to take this opportunity to offer a free parent-child activity for members of the public to spend a nice weekend together. The Family Council will also introduce The But's Family tram which is decorated with characters from The But's Family in childlike and vivid paintings.

The tram will tour Hong Kong Island to deliver the message of "marital happiness and harmony", meaning protecting and caring for the family.

MARKETING-INTERACTIVE has reached out to the council for more information. 

This comes as the United Nations declared that 15 May of every year as the International Day of Families to raise awareness of issues related to families in the international community. 

Since its establishment in 2007, the council has served as a cross-sector and cross-bureau platform for advising the government on family-related policies and promoting a culture of loving families as well as the family core values of "Love and Care", "Respect and Responsibility" and "Communication and Harmony" in the community.

Back in March this year,  the government reappointed Melissa Kaye Pang as the chairman of the Family Council, as well as announcing the appointment and reappointment of non-official members to the council for a term of two years with effect from 1 April.

The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau will continue to support the work of the council and thanked the outgoing members for their contributions and dedication to the work of the council during their term of service.
