Spring Adventures in Nova Scotia
We did it Nova Scotia- we survived another winter!
Hide that heavy jacket and stash those snow boots to the back of your closet because we’re officially celebrating spring. How do we know it’s spring? All the seasonal restaurants are opening this month, of course! Plan a day trip this month to help welcome some of our members back.
