Black History Month, Pink Shirt Day, Valentine’s Day, and more!

February is set to be a busy month! And with only 28 days, it’s also the shortest. 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.

• Valentine’s Day – The Hallmark Holiday. 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. 20, a recently added statutory holiday to give workers an extra day off.

• Pink Shirt Day – Feb. 22. A day to stand against bullying and show support to those who may feel bullied by wearing Pink. Sometimes a month-long rally.
