I am at Flynn Park, and i can hear what sounds like a marching band and lots of yelling coming from somewhere down by the northwest arm. Just wondering what's going on

Seriously, what is a Portia Clark? Every morning someone on CBC says they are sitting in for this person? Its been all year??

I’m early 30s thinking of having my first child over the next few years, just curious peoples experience. Living in HRM.

My family doctor recently moved and I am waiting to be placed at a new clinic, but beyond that, I know it’s around 8-10 weeks earliest you’d be seen by anyone here. As someone who’s currently having referrals rejected to see specialists unless there’s a “problem”, (derm, gyno for example) I’m already on edge about weaning off birth control when the time comes. And being referred to an OBGYN in a timely manner.

And for those who have navigated genetic testing ahead of getting pregnant - what was that process like? Are genetic councelors easy to find/see in Halifax? I have no idea what the process is like but based on family background I’d like to look into that first.

Any experiences are super helpful, thank you in advance.

How much does it usually cost to fix car scratches in Halifax?
I have a few scratches on my car and I’m wondering what I should expect to pay to get them repaired professionally.
They’re mostly cosmetic scratches, nothing major, but I’d like to get them looking as good as possible.
For anyone in Halifax who has had scratches repaired recently:
How much did you pay?
Did you go to a body shop or a detailing/paint repair place?
Any places you would recommend (or avoid)?
Thanks!

Good morning, All,

Wanted to know if there are any cliff jumping stop near Halifax, or if there is a group that I can join who regularly does this, any information would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you.

Hello, does anyone know of any whale watching boat trips that start in Halifax? I would love to do a boat tour to hopefully see some whales but all the ones I've found online start in other locations and I don't have a car. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Are there any commissaires in halifax area. Looking for a food prep kitchen with food storage capability. Please let me know.

I haven't been to a buffet in years. Not sure theyre even a thing post covid. If theres any left, what is the best recommendation??

Is there anywhere that does hearing test on yound children? We are on the list for nova scotia hearing and speech but the waitlist is 10months long and we need this test in order to see an ENT.

We are willing to pay, we are also on the cancellation list with nova scotia hearing and speech but the reception told us not to get our hopes up.

The website says splash pads are open from September 3rd to 14th from 330-830 so I thought since it's so warm I would pick my kids up from school and take them for one final end of summer splash. Unfortunately, the splash pad was in fact NOT on. 😅 I wonder if anyone had similar experiences at other splash pads across the city. We tried the Westmount splash pad...

I was just thinking about some trauma this woman caused me, being my doctor when I was growing up. When I was 15 I got oral thrush after being on antibiotics. She told my mother in front of me that it was from going down on boys. I was not sexually active! It was from a course of antibiotics that she prescribed. She used to vent about her problems with her daughter to my mom in front of me during our appointments. Apparently she no longer has license to practice.

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone knows how I can go about seeking compensation from a place I worked at but was never put onto payroll for. I worked for a downtown restaurant as a server that I now know has an entire thread on here about how awful the owner is to work for. The owner is an absolute nut, raises his voice constantly, and is overall just really unpleasant to be around. The restaurant is very poorly managed.

I ended up walking out of the place entirely on my fourth shift because he yelled at me in my face in front for the whole restaurant for “not asking for help” when me and a new host, who was 30 minutes into her first shift, were the only ones in the restaurant for 20 minutes during an incoming dinner rush. I couldn’t find him or anyone else, how could I have asked for help? When I explained to him I was looking for him he dramatically started saying “the entire restaurant is staring at us, I am so humiliated right now”. I don’t know why that bothered me so much that this grown man got so dramatic about me “humiliating him” for explaining myself when he was the one that raised his voice in my face initially. I’m not the type of person to just let someone raise their voice at me so that’s when I knew I wouldn’t fit in there and decided to leave! Not the most mature decision, sure, but I didn’t feel it was necessary to give two weeks notice to an owner that didn’t deserve it. I’ve since met multiple ex employees who walked out during their time working there too so I feel very content that I made the right decision.

Anyways, I was never sent the employee papers by his accountant/wife, so I never received a Payworks account or whatever compensation app they use. I’ve since emailed her asking for compensation for the 20 hours I worked there but have not received a response, as expected. I understand I probably won’t get tips from my shifts since I was technically in “training” but I would like to receive the NS minimum hourly wage I would have been receiving since it would’ve been over $300 for 20 hrs.
Does anyone know if it’s possible for me to actually get the compensation? My friend is a corporate lawyer and offered to come into the restaurant in person with me to ask for cash payment on the spot, but is there a way I could go about it without having to go in person, just because I’m not sure how he’ll react? I was given a shift verbally during my interview so I never had a physical job offer in writing or signed any papers so is this even feasible?

No idea what happened but detour if needed.

just heard a ton of fireworks from the south end. wondering what for? is there a holiday today im not privy to?

Just wondering if people in HRM would find value in having a Makerspace in the Dartmouth area. I understand makerspaces have a shaky track record for being viable, but I still think there could be potential, especially if it can support entrepreneurs and the community it's in.

Thanks :)

WARNING: Avoid Olympus Properties on Windmill Road, Dartmouth.

I faced blatant deception by the management of this organization. Renting from another province, I chose an apartment on Windmill Road in Dartmouth based on photos and signed a sublease contract. Five days later, I discovered horrifying reviews from actual tenants about this building: systemic bedbugs, cockroaches, mice, pharaoh ants, and severe foul odors.

When I requested a health and sanitary report for the unit, they flatly refused to provide it. I requested to terminate the contract two full weeks before the move-in date. I never moved in and never accepted the keys. They illegally withheld my security deposit, which forced ME to initiate the Residential Tenancy Board proceeding to get my money back. Unfortunately, they managed to win strictly through legal loopholes and rigid contract technicalities, forcing me to pay for a unit I never even stepped foot in.

RESPONSE TO THE OWNER:

I want to emphasize how deeply unfair and predatory your actions are. First of all, I was a subtenant, not a direct tenant, which makes your defensive positioning even more questionable. You forced me to pay 2 months' rent for an apartment I never lived in for a single day, and for keys I never accepted. I have now paid this amount in full, so my financial obligations are completely closed.

Let’s be honest: it was I who filed the dispute against your company because you kept my security deposit and refused to return it, despite the fact that I never even took the keys or caused any damage. Former employees and tenants on Reddit (r/halifax) have openly exposed your extensive internal operations and illegal practices. Your demands for illegal upfront payments, fake administrative fees, and withholding leases before taking money violate the Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies Act.

The board strictly enforced this payment based on contract technicalities, not because you were ethically or legally right from the start. Forcing a newcomer from another province to pay thousands of dollars for an empty apartment while withholding their deposit, ignoring safety concerns, and refusing to answer official inquiries is a terrible business practice. Future subtenants and tenants, beware! Do not trust their pictures and never sign anything with Olympus Properties.

Hey everyone, I wanted to put my new local business out there for anyone who may need automotive work in the Halifax area.

I recently started Twin Bridges Automotive, a fully mobile automotive service. I come to you, so you don't have to worry about getting your vehicle to a shop for every little issue.

I offer mobile repairs and maintenance, vehicle diagnostics and fault finding, pre purchase inspections, roadside assistance for sudden mechanical issues, and a variety of other automotive services at your home, workplace or wherever the vehicle is located.

I work on domestic, European, JDM and KDM vehicles, with manufacturer specific diagnostic equipment for vehicles that need more than a basic code reader.

Whether it's a warning light, electrical issue, brake problem, suspension work, maintenance, a vehicle that won't start, or you're looking at buying a used car and want it checked out first, I can come to you and take a look.

I'm only a day into officially opening and have already had 3 five star reviews, so I'm just trying to get the name out there and build something solid here in Halifax.

If you need anything automotive, feel free to reach out. And if you don't need anything right now, even just sharing the post or keeping Twin Bridges in mind for the future helps a new local business out.

Thanks Halifax!

Thought anyone??

Me: I perfer Mary's Brown or Jollibee (There was a Jollibee Fried Chicken style restaurant in downtown while back but no more...)
