Math and pie fans around the province celebrated Epic Pi Day on March 13. Pi Day is an annual celebration that traditionally takes place on March 14 (the 14th day of the third month, ie, 3.14). This year’s version was dubbed “epic” because the year 2015 matches the next two digits in pi: 15. Some celebrants went as far as to schedule their events for 9:26 a.m., thus incorporating the next three digits in pi.
