Why bother providing a change table. This has been broken and never gets fixed. This is so common now.

Hi everyone!

My girlfriend and I are visiting Nova Scotia from Germany.
We’re landing in Halifax Saturday afternoon, September 5, and are looking for a place to stay for one night (Sept. 5–6).

We’d be totally happy to spend around $200 CAD for the night, but somehow even basic hotels and hostels are way more expensive than that this weekend (or already fully booked).

We pick up our rental car on September 6 and leave Halifax that day, so we only need a place for one night. Since we won’t have a car on Saturday, somewhere in Halifax or easily reachable by public transit would be ideal.

We’re two friendly and respectful travellers and would be happy with pretty much anything: hostel, guest room, Airbnb, etc.
If anyone has any tips for affordable places or knows a hidden gem, we’d really appreciate it! 🙏

Thanks so much! We’re really looking forward to visiting Nova Scotia! 🇨🇦

Quorn is a brand of vegetarian meat substitute from the UK. I’ve come across it in other countries but haven’t found it here. Has anyone seen it for sale around HRM?

Anyone have a health practitioner (e.g. physiotherapist, private nurse practitioner, etc) that helped you obtain long term disability? If so could you recommend/message me their name. I am suffering from chronic hip pain and I'm struggling to even do my office job right now. I have had the issue since April 2026. Just returned to work from parental leave this week. Unfortunately my family doctor is not that much help. I had to go elsewhere for a referral of a private MRA which shows that I have a labral tear and that my acetabulum is anteverted. He insisted that I don't have a labral tear prior to MRA... I'm a federal employee and we don't have short term disability insurance, applying for long term is my only option plus using up all my remaining sick leave.

Looking for posters and/or prints and such for my apartment! I've got some at Jennifer's and Inkwell, but looking for some larger stuff and maybe posters instead of prints for affordability! My style is definitely more girly, and I love the following motifs: leopard print, playing cards, cocktails, 8 ball, floral, cats, etc.

I love supporting local, but I'm not opposed to artwork from elsewhere as long as it's not AI! I've looked at Winners and Homesense, and it's all AI!

Also, does anyone know where to find large fan wall decor like the image attached?

Hey all!
I’m looking for a kitchen tv, preferably an under counter one but a really small crtv would do - does anyone know where to find such a thing besides getting lucky at Salvation Army or vv?

Anyone know what's happening downtown near DAL?

Looking for a cozy restaurant in downtown Halifax that isn’t too too noisy (as in we’ll be able to hear ourselves talk) preferably with booths or comfy sitting! For a friend’s birthday. It can be any cuisine other than Indian.

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a gym that had a decent reputation that was potentially good for students. I've got in contact with Anytime Fitness and GoodLife Fitness, but paying that much a year for the gym as a student isn't quite affordable for me.

Any recommendations? I know Dal offers day passes, but unfortunately that's a 40 min walk from my university 💔.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for around the NSCAD campuses if possible, I'd really appreciate it :)!

Hi! Could someone help me understand street cleaning signs. If my road has street cleaning on Tuesday, what night can’t I park on the street? Monday night or Tuesday night?

I thought it was “technically” Monday night, after 12am but I just got 2 Communauto parking tickets for Tuesday street cleaning when I parked from Tuesday - Wednesday.

Thank you so much!

Edit: someone has helped me make sense of it! Thank you :)

The latest federal surveillance report, which tracks influenza, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), shows it’s likely the calm before the storm, with low and stable levels of all three respiratory threats that are set to come roaring back in the months ahead.

Keep an eye on news in October, as NS usually opens the vaccines then!

Hey everyone! My name is Conrad and I run Blyyss, where we've been delivering from Gateway Meat Market over the past month.

For anyone new to us, we shop for your groceries at Gateway Meat Market on Sunday mornings and bring them to your door that afternoon.

Good news this week, we're adding Clayton Park and Spryfield to the route, so along with Halifax, Dartmouth and Fairview that's most of the city. Bedford and Sackville, you're next, we're setting up your own delivery day and I'll post when it's ready.

Gateway's flyer is a good one this week. Bone-in pork loin roast $1.77/lb, grapes 77¢/lb, Quebec corn $1.97 a dozen, and pork chops $1.97/lb to name a few!

We've got 10 spots for Sunday. Order by Friday 9 PM at https://blyyss.ca/shop. $15.99 flat and you pay the exact shelf price on everything, we never mark anything up.

Quick note, we're not affiliated with Gateway, just customers who shop there like everyone else and bring it to the folks who can't get out there.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and please, order away :)

When I first moved into my building, it was great - the building was always clean, garbage was picked up regularly, they took care of the grounds, there were no mice, and things were fixed quickly.

It started slowly - first the annual garage cleaning was skipped, then the carpet cleaning, then everyone started getting mice, then tenants were calling the city because garbage wasn’t being picked up. There are mice running through the halls. It’s like night and day in just a few years, that it’s hard to even comprehend.

Is this normal now or do I just pay a lot to live in a shitty building?

I’m starting to feel like that person who stays in a toxic relationship for years because they’ve convinced themselves it’s normal.

If you’re one of the pedestrians who flipped him off: I’m with you. This intersection (Bayers & Windsor) sucks and it’s not the first time I’ve watched this kind of nonsense happen.

If you’re the driver: what the hell were you thinking? The irony is that if you were in such a goddamn hurry, you could’ve jumped the zebra stripes to the turn lane earlier and made the light. Fun fact: you were only three cars ahead of me at the Almon stoplight.
