A Jam Packed February Ahead

February is set to be a busy month! And The ‘leap year’ makes this year’s February even more unique. Here’s a small heads up on what to expect this month!

• Black History Month – The month provides an opportunity to celebrate and commemorate the legacy, history and achievements that Canadians of African descent have made and continue to make, and to recognize our commitment to equal rights, opportunity and freedom from discrimination across Canada. The theme for Black History Month 2024 is Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build. 
• Valentine’s Day – The Hallmark Holiday on Feb. 14. Mark it on your calendar’s or risk possible contempt from your partner! But in all seriousness, a day to share passion and love with friends and family can’t be all bad, right?
• Family Day – Coming this year on Feb. 19, a recently added statutory holiday to give workers an extra day off and to give people time to spend with their families.
• Pink Shirt Day – Feb. 28. Pink Shirt Day is an annual event to stand against bullying and show support to those who may feel bullied. Participants wear pink shirts and attend or host informative events to raise awareness about bullying.
