Outdoor Winter Fun in Nova Scotia with Kids

Canadian winters can be bitter and cold but also beautiful and welcoming. As an immigrant, I’ve learned to love and embrace the cold weather, which has made me greatly appreciate Nova Scotia in the winter. The trick is to layer up and dress appropriately for the family fun adventures my kids love to embark on during the winter months. We visit Nova Scotia to see family at least once a year and with each visit and season, we discover new outdoor activities and places that families with kids are sure to love.
