Your Guide to Self-Care During the Winter Months on the Halifax Waterfront

The winter can certainly take a toll on one’s mind, body, and spirit, with 35% of Canadians reporting they experience the “winter blues” during the colder months. According to Living in Canada, the temperature in Halifax doesn’t tend to rise above 0°C until at least March—meaning we still have a few weeks left of winter weather.

While there are plenty of activities to take part in during the winter months in Atlantic Canada, we can’t deny that it can be hard to get out and seize the day when it’s below freezing. That being said, the Halifax Waterfront is home to many businesses that help Haligonians stay healthy, feel confident, and de-stress, no matter what time of year it is.

Trust us, we’re counting down the days until it’s summer on the Halifax Waterfront just like you are—but until then, we’ve put together this list of ways you can take care of your health and stay happy all winter long!
