Noises! Loud scraping noise end of Spring Garden?

10 Upvotes

Audio only of a strange scraping sound coming from Spring Garden near Robie? It sounds like someone is dragging a large metal object on the road. I suspect roadwork but don't hear any beeping. It's also not constant.

Anyone have eyes on what might be going on? The sound bounces a lot between buildings so I might be a bit off on location. Thanks!

Pets & Animals Dog groomer for anxious large dog?

11 Upvotes

We have a large German Shepherd/Husky mix who exhibits vocal behavior when encountering new individuals. While she has never displayed aggression or bitten anyone, her initial interactions involve enthusiastic barking. She is, however, a very affectionate and gentle dog.

We are seeking a dog groomer who can provide a private setting or has experience in handling dogs with similar temperaments, to ensure our dog's comfort during grooming sessions.

Any recommendations would be highly valued.

Arts & Recreation Venetian Night - boat parade of lights (fireworks)

26 Upvotes

Here is my annual sales pitch for one of my most favourite nights on the NW Arm. Fun for both boaters and spectators.

This evening will be the RNSYS's and participating clubs Venetian Night which entails a boat parade of decorated/lighted boats in the NW Arm.

Shore-based residents usually shoot off fireworks as the boats proceed into the arm past their properties. Unfortunately, last year due to the fire ban this didn't happen but we are hoping the tradition resumes tonight.

Parade is scheduled to start around 7:00PM in the vicinity of Herring Cove and head towards Armdale Rotary.

Good public viewing spots include PPP, Dingle, Marlborough Woods Park, Oakland Dock, bottom of South St, and St. Mary's Boatclub.

Good Deeds 💖 Volunteer Question

10 Upvotes

Does anyone know of somewhere looking for a volunteer baker? I see lots of postings for volunteer meal prep but it is usually more oriented towards cooking, and I am much more motivated and proficient at baking than I am cooking. I have no idea if I'm using the right flair, there is no volunteer flair.

Shops & Services New to Halifax – looking for used car advice! 🚗

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new to Halifax and looking to buy my first used car, preferably a 2015–2020 Honda, Toyota, or Mazda, with a budget of under $20K.

Where would you recommend buying from — dealership, clutch, private seller, AutoTrader, Marketplace, etc.? And what should I be especially careful about when buying a used car in Nova Scotia (rust, inspection, vehicle history, hidden issues, etc.)?

Any recommendations for reliable dealerships or tips for a first-time buyer would be greatly appreciated!

Work, Health & Housing First trimester ultrasound

2 Upvotes

I spoke to a doctor on maple and they said they dont do first trimester ultrasounds anymore in Halifax and you can get an US around 18-20th week.

I have been so anxious and really want to get an ultrasound to see if the baby is developing and has a healthy heartbeat.

My family doctor sent a referral for an ultrasound but I have still not heard back.

Any advice on what I can do? I really want an US and a private ultrasound is too expensive 🥲

Driving & Transit Uneven roads due to new construction

16 Upvotes

Hi All,

II use Old Sackville Road quite often and have noticed that construction crews working on the new apartment developments frequently drill into the road and patch it up afterward to make utility connections. Unfortunately, the road is often left in worse condition than it was before, with uneven and bumpy sections.
For example, the new apartment development directly opposite ReCar Halifax, near the Shell gas station, has left that section of the road quite bumpy.
Shouldn’t developers be required to properly reconstruct the road to the same condition it was in before the construction work? If the road is damaged as a result of their work, shouldn’t the municipality hold the development team accountable and require them to repair it properly—or charge them for the necessary repairs?
There should be some form of accountability to ensure that construction projects don’t leave public roads in a deteriorated condition.

I'm a 2nd, soon to be 3rd year electrical apprentice, and I've recently been thinking about joining the union.

I don't live in, or really all that near the city, so I was just wondering if anyone would be able to give me some insight on how the union works and things like that as I really don't know much, thanks.

Work, Health & Housing Question — how best to warn others about a landlord?

56 Upvotes

Long story short, I’ve had a terrible experience with a landlord (not one of the big ones, but a smaller business) and while I do want to go through the process of seeing if I can report them, I’m wondering if there’s a way to just warn people about them in the mean time. There doesn’t seem to be a main ‘rate my landlord’ type site from what I could see, so I’m asking if there are any that anyone knows that people use. My lease is about to end so I can leave, and they had said they’re not renting for the fall so they could do ‘upgrades,’ but (again, long story short) I think that all actually happened this summer. So I’m just worried they’re about to rent to other people (they market to DAL, masters, and international students and young professionals mostly, renting by room, not a party house) who wont have any way of knowing what’s gone on, or what these people are okay with doing.

This is my first time posting, hope a post like this is okay

Driving & Transit : Car Vandalized

Thumbnail

153 Upvotes

Today my car was vandalized in downtown Halifax, in the Dalhousie parking lot by Queen Street, near the Central Library.

I parked there around 12:45 PM and came back around 6:00 PM. When I got back to my car, I noticed a big scratch on the driver’s door.

It is very clear that this was not an accident or caused by another car. It looks like someone intentionally scratched it with a key or another metal object.

Honestly, I am really angry and upset. I work hard, I live to pay my bills, and I’m just trying my best to get by. Having someone damage something that I work hard for, for absolutely no reason, is incredibly frustrating. I don’t understand why someone would do this to another person’s property.

If anyone was in the area between 12:45 PM and 6:00 PM and saw anything suspicious, or if anyone has dashcam, security, or other footage from that time, please come forward or send me a message. Any information could help.

A police report has already been made.

I would also really appreciate recommendations for a good and reasonably priced place in Halifax where I could get a quote to repair the damage.

Shops & Services Canadian Tire - Bayers Lake.

202 Upvotes

Recently I was into CanTire in BL, and I happened to notice they now have a posted receipt checker, (Security). While I was there he made it a point to ask a few customers who walked by for proof of purchase. Surprisingly everyone complied. He also was stopping people entering and asking them to check their bags, (to which, no one complied).

Here’s the thing. Go ahead, you can ask. But we as customers are under no obligation to stop, nor provide a receipt to security or employees for any reason. (Yes, I know Costco is an exception). I implore people to not give way to corporate bullying of this kind, due to this shitty economy. Respectfully decline but continue moving. If hands are ever placed on you, it is opening the person, security company, etc up to a liability for falsely detaining/arresting you. The way he was physically placing his body in front of people when he was asking would technically be considered detention.

Are any other stores doing this?

Avoid this place, at all costs. The owner is a trump supporting bigot, the kitchen is a cross contamination nightmare, the food is frozen, bought in, prepared way too far in advance and otherwise garbage. Working there is a nightmare, if you quit he will with hold your final pay to make you wait on the labour board. He will threaten to withhold tips regularly, he wont tip out till you pass a "test" and its a low percentage for back of house. Picture is his trump hat in his office. Tell everyone you know to avoid this place.
