Heritage Day (NS) HistoryHeritage Day in Nova Scotia honours and celebrates the province’s rich historical and cultural diversity. The designated holiday highlights significant events, individuals, groups and institutions that have left a profound mark on the province's development and identity. Each year, a different aspect of Nova Scotia's cultural heritage is highlighted, reflecting stories and traditions from communities across the province. The origin of Heritage Day in Nova Scotia can be traced back to 2015, when the provincial government introduced this statutory holiday as part of the revisions to the Retail Business Designated Closing Day Act. The holiday was an initiative aimed at educating Nova Scotians and Canadians at large about the unique heritage of the province. It provides an opportunity for Canadians to understand and appreciate the remarkable contributions of their ancestors and the impact of historical events on present-day Nova Scotia. Generally, Nova Scotians observe Heritage Day by participating in various cultural, educational, and recreational activities held across the province. Many public establishments, such as museums and libraries, organize special events and exhibits that provide deeper insights into the province's storied past. Although the holiday is mainly observed in Nova Scotia, these activities also draw attention from the broader Canadian community, engaging all in the spirit of unity and appreciation for shared heritage. Heritage Day in Nova Scotia takes place on the third Monday in February, contributing to the nationwide celebration of Canada's rich heritage during the month. Top facts about Heritage Day
