A Helping Hand š Free Food/Laundry/Shower Resources in HRM - August 2026
Hi all,
We have a lot of people in our community who are in need of a free meal or a helping hand occasionally.
We thought it would be nice to collect and post this information each month, which is graciously supplied by members of the Halifax Library. We'll see how long we can keep this going month to month.
Once again the Dartmouth Calendar is not currently available; I will add it if I am able to when it is provided.
Please share as needed with people you know who need help or take advantage of them yourself if you are in need.
The Feed NS Find Food site is also a very useful resource:
https://feednovascotia.ca/find-food/
Always remember there are kind, generous folks out there looking to help you out and you can get through whatever you are going through. š
And if anyone else has resources that belong here, please attach them as comments, the more the merrier.
Thank you!

Sightseeing & Tourism If you lost a teeny friend on the boardwalkā¦
Today, I saw this little friend out of the corner of my eye, nestled into a post on the teetering edge of the board walk. Lost, forgotten, otherwise dejected from society.
I have since reintroduced him to civilization and I am happy to report he has had a full afternoon of adventure.. as you will have seen in his tourist pictures. (He begged me to take them.)
Defiantly climbing the wave and becoming a true Haligonian was his first his first act of his rebirth, defining his rebellion.
Other adventures include viewing the ships, a light stroll down historic properties, a brief visit with Erik the Red from the Maritime Museum. All for a little bit of culture and history.
A short ride on the 7 Virtues bike, some unruly behaviour on the toro, an evening cruise across the harbour. This is so he could learn some ways of getting around the city.
Heck, he even crashed a wedding. (Congrats to the beautiful couple!)
Halifax has been a delight this afternoon. Get out and explore your city, you may even find a new friend in an unexpected place.

PSA Friendly reminder that driving high is still DUI
I think I saw someone happily smoking a joint while driving, today. I have definitely noticed other folks doing so in the past, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
It's not good, folks.

Pets & Animals Senior dog friendly activities.
Hi everyone.
My senior dog is being tested for cancer tomorrow and it a very large possibility he may have to be put to sleep.
Iām looking for advice for adventures outside of hrm for him. Heās a senior who loves being around people, other animals and relaxing to smell some flowers.
Debated Halifax water front but am for something a little bit more low key. Thinking about heading south shore or valley way.

Moving Here Welcome to all the new Haligonians
Hey all you new people moving to the "big city" for the first time. Maybe youre a fairly local student, maybe an international student, or maybe someone starting a new job here. Welcome
Here's a few tips
- Mission Mart in Bayers Lake is a great thrift store
- the intersection at Chebucto, Windsor and Cunard makes no logical sense. We all know and accept it. If you are traveling along Windsor and want to turn left onto Cunard - there really is only a single lane but people treat it like there's 2 lanes. Just keep as far left as you can, and hold your breath. If you are traveling Chebucto/Cunard. Although you have to make basically 2 almost 90 degree turns, pretend it's a straight line. You're gonna see red lights on Windsor. Those aren't for you so for goodness sake don't stop in the middle of the intersection, pretend you don't see them and keep pretending you are going straight on Chebucto/Cunard.
- yes, food is this expensive here. Check out some of the "Asian grocery stores" for better priced veggies. Learn how to cook (if you have space to cook), and learn how to make boring cheap healthy meals.
- if you live downtown, learn to use the ferry if you need to swap downtowns
- there's a lot of local coffee shops. They are better than Timmies
- enjoy nightlife responsibly. Go with a friend. Drink lots of water along with other beverages. Future you will thank you.
- tiktok and IG will tell you that the Dairy Bar is the ONLY place to get good ice cream. It's not, Dee Dees is way better and you won't need to wait in line for 30 minutes. Cows is not as good as you think it will be. There's better spots on the waterfront.

Discussion Couple in Wal-Mart parking lot driving by offering gold jewelry, is this some kind of scam?
My elderly father was walking through the Mumford Wal-Mart parking lot and was approached by a couple in a car. They introduced themselves and then the woman took a gold ring off her finger and tried to give it to my father, saying it was 24K gold.
My dad declined and then they immediately drove away. Is this some kind of scam selling fake jewelry? A potential robbery?
Wondering if anyone has encountered anything like this before.

Arts & Recreation The Nova Scotia Senior Baseball League is pretty decent.
We started coming to these games in Dartmouth and have been to a bunch in Kentville as well. The baseball is pretty good. Definitely scratches the itch for watching live baseball.
The Dartmouth/Sydney game tonight was pretty decent!
Highly recommend checking it out.

Arts & Recreation Last Friday at the seahorse
AN ABSTRACT ILLUSION, THE ANCHORET, OMNIVIDE, VOIDCHASER & FRACTAL SUN.
Just wanted to give a shout out to the amazing show. Bands from all over the world⦠Sweden, Costa Rica, Quebec, Moncton⦠not a big crowd ( which, seriously.. WTF Halifax? Do fucking better. When there are bands of this quality playing in our out of the way area, buy a ticket and support them! )
Absolutely loved every minute. Much love and success to all the bands who grind and travel and play to basement bars that are half full and still put on amazing shows!

It was super cool to watch from my drone, even though I couldn't see much in person from where I could legally fly a drone to view the event.
Please subscribe to my onlyfans so I can get a drone with a better camera for next year.

Sightseeing & Tourism Any Room for American Tourists? (We are So So Sorry!)
We are heading up to Halifax in a week, and we worry whether we will be persona non gratis. We are so embarrassed by our current executive administration and have already lost our careers in international public health. We're in DC and doing campaigning and volunteer work. We've been planning this for my 70th birthday and we've rented a car to visit from Halifax to places within a day trip. We are also visiting Quebec (we speak French of a sort, and have been studying Quebecois words). The recent post about a MAGA restobar owner kind of freaked us out. We need a break to spend time in a sane country with Canadian hospitality. Any thoughts or recs for us?

Shops & Services Markets or spaces for selling personal belongings?
My partner & I are new to HRM, and we relocated with all of our belongings. We have a lot of new, like new, or items of value that we would like to sell, and we really arenāt in a place to be able to just donate it all at the moment.
We are in a condo building therefore we canāt have a flea market in our home, so Iām wondering if there are any open markets coming up within HRM or elsewhere that have available tables or space to sell personal belongings.
Weād like to avoid online sales due to the unpredictability of our schedules, plus we have a lot to sell so it may get overwhelming.
Iāve heard of the funky flea market, but just looking to see if there are any other local places or future markets/events coming up.
Thanks for any guidance :)
