What is Nova Scotia Heritage Day?
Nova Scotia Heritage Day is Nova Scotia's paid holiday on the third Monday of February. The page uses the provincial name rather than grouping it under Family Day.
Its date follows the same weekday pattern as several February holidays, but its statutory basis and scope come from Nova Scotia Labour Standards.
A separate entry keeps Nova Scotia from being incorrectly included in the Family Day jurisdiction list.
