The SilverSkate Festival is almost here! It runs February 7-17, 2025 with many fun things to do. They have changed up their offerings and the schedule is already up! This year the festival is located at Laurier Park, with a new ice rink operating west of the public washrooms. Check in regularly at https://silverskate.ca/ to see what they have to offer, and be sure to get out to enjoy the fabulous creativity, friendliness and culture in the cold air. Snow sculptures, fire sculptures, Indigenous storytelling, and lots of skating are among the fun activities to take in.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH (February) gives us many opportunities to learn about and celebrate Black Heritage and cultures. The Edmonton Public Library is honouring the contributions of black people, with features about Antiracism, Black Canadians, book recommendations and more.
