Today, Feb. 29, 2024 is Leap Day adding an extra day to our calendar.

Leap years happen when one day is added to the end of February in order to align our calendar with the Earth香蕉视频直播檚 orbit and prevents summer in November and other calendar chaos.

Once every four years, we tack a 29th day onto the end of February. A leap year makes it 366 days instead of 365.

The last leap year was in 2020 and the next one will be in 2028.

South Okanagan wildlife photographer Curtis Zutz posted the perfect picture for Leap Day of a chipmunk leaping in the air.

He said he captured the one in a million chance picture in the Willowbrook area, near Oliver.

According to the History Channel, around 5 million people are born on a leap day.

So how do you celebrate?

Many 香蕉视频直播淟eaplings香蕉视频直播� (or those born on leap day) will celebrate their birthdays on Feb. 28 or March 1.

For Brock Noseworthy from Chemainus, he will always retain his youth.

He was born during a leap year in 1964 on Feb. 29 so he香蕉视频直播檚 technically only had 15 actual birthdays, but is going on 60.
