We don’t know about you, but for us, winter has just about overstayed it’s welcome. Don’t get us wrong, we love winter as much as the next Canadian, but we’re definitely ready for a change of pace. If you love the snow, enjoy it while you can as March is meant to bring on the start of the warmer weather, and spring fashion for both people and the trees!
Let us take a moment to formally recognize and congratulate all the Canadians who represented Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. They made us truly proud. We had a great showing in terms of medals, winning a total of 25, 10 of those being gold. Canadians feel at home in the winter, so it’s not surprising we did so well. Kudos Canada!
On March 9th, we will be losing an hour due to Daylight-Savings Time. Ever wonder why we have Daylight Savings Time? Many people believe that DST could be linked to fewer road accidents and injuries. The extra hour of daylight in the evening is said to give children more social time and can boost the tourism industry because it increases the amount of outdoor activities. It is also used to save energy and reduce artificial light needed during the evening hours. Commonwealth Day falls on March 10th, and good old St. Patrick’s Day falls on March 17th, don’t forget to wear green!
Speaking of green, last month we indulged in our sweet tooth cravings, but this month we’re bringing back a savoury favourite that’s healthy to boot!

If you don’t already love hummus as much as we do, this article give us 10 reasons why we should be eating more hummus.
