A February holiday is on the horizon for Nova Scotia. The Liberal government introduced legislation today to create a statutory holiday on the third Monday in February, beginning in 2015. The idea has been floated around for almost a decade. Current Finance Minister Diana Whalen pushed the need for a February holiday while in Opposition. She submitted private member’s bills calling for the holiday eight times. The February holiday will give Nova Scotians six statutory holidays per year. A name for the holiday hasn’t been decided. The province will ask young Nova Scotians to help decide what it should be called.
