Some parts of the island are showing off bright reds and yellows, while others are still pretty green.

Looks like there’s more colour to come! 🍁

How are the fall colours looking where you are?

The Nova Scotia Nature Trust just dropped a trailer for a new short documentary following two Wilderness Property Guardians as they paddle between islands, collect debris, monitor sites and camp under the stars.

The trailer just dropped, and the full documentary premieres October 24 at Devour! The Food Film Festival in Wolfville.

Honestly, that looks like one pretty incredible job.

It’s turtle-hatching season, and these little snapping turtles are taking their first walks on land.

Parks Canada staff, Mi’kmaw Earth Keepers and volunteers are keeping an eye on the nests — but they’re also asking drivers to slow down and watch for turtles on the roads.

They’re tiny, so keep an eye out! 🐢👀

Nova Scotia has the highest rate of Lyme disease in Canada — with 2,788 cases reported in the province in 2025.

So a new study finding that ER visits for tick bites dropped by about 50% after pharmacists started providing preventive treatment is pretty interesting.

Pharmacists in Nova Scotia have been able to prescribe preventive treatment for tick bites since 2021, and the province was the first in Canada to allow pharmacists to treat people already diagnosed with Lyme disease.

Pretty good example of a Nova Scotia-specific problem getting a Nova Scotia-specific solution.

Hundreds gathered for Tollermania, including people who travelled all the way from Australia to celebrate Nova Scotia’s very own dog breed.

Honestly, I feel like Nova Scotia needs more events where the main attraction is just a bunch of dogs. 😂

There’s a reason the pepperoni you get around Halifax looks and tastes a little different, and it goes back to the city’s Polish immigrant community.

Did you know the story behind Halifax pepperoni?

Antigonish’s Peace by Chocolate came up with a pretty sweet response to the Lake Ontario name change.

The company created a Lake Ontario chocolate bar—and it’s now one of its five best-selling bars.

Not a bad way to turn a headline into something positive. 🇨🇦

The 104-year-old gopher tortoise at the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History is scheduled for surgery on October 13 to remove a urinary stone that has grown and is beginning to press on surrounding tissue. Thankfully, a newer, less-invasive procedure means they won’t have to cut through his shell.

Sending all the good vibes to our favourite old guy! 🥹🐢

The Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History is offering free admission for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

It’s a great opportunity to check out Pjila’si, an interactive exhibit celebrating Mi’kmaw culture, history and traditions, while taking some time to learn and reflect. 🧡

More info from the museum's Facebook page.

If you haven't come across Brogan, aka Not the Worst Cleaner, she's a Nova Scotia-based content creator who offers free cleanings to people who are struggling.

What I really appreciate about her content is that she goes beyond the satisfying before-and-afters. She talks openly about how mental health and overwhelm can affect someone's ability to clean, organize and keep up with their home — and does it without judgment.

Her message is basically: struggling with your home doesn't make you lazy or a bad person. Sometimes people just need a little help.

Thought this was worth sharing, especially since she's one of our own. 🧼💛
