The shortest month of the year includes exciting family-friendly events as we enter a new month! Groundhog Day marks the start of February, and Shubie Sam is predicting whether spring will arrive soon or whether winter will persist for six weeks. February is a month filled with celebrations, such as Valentine’s Day, Nova Scotia Heritage Day, and African Heritage Month.
February is the ideal time of year to enjoy the wintery outdoors since the days are growing longer and winter is well underway. If there’s ever any snow, climb on a toboggan and explore the top spots for an afternoon of sledding, or grab your skates and head to the Emerald Oval!
Here are some of the events to look forward to this February:
African Heritage Month
“Our Smiles, Our Joy, Our Resilience as African Nova Scotians” is the 2025 African Heritage Month theme, and it perfectly captures the spirit and resilience of individuals of African heritage who have lived in our province for centuries.
