What is Heritage Day?

The 3rd Monday in February is a #NovaScotia holiday. Students from primary to grade 12 worked together to create a name that would instill pride in being Nova Scotian, and for a remarkable person, place or event that have helped to make NS what it is today.

We might not love shovelling snow, but it can play a vital role in spring fire danger.

We asked our friends in wildfire prevention with the Department of Natural Resources to share about the importance of snow cover (1/4)
