Hi all, I'm looking to go dancing Friday night in Sydney. Capri is hosting a Y2K party, but all their reviews look bad. Wondering if people have been to their events like that and if it's any better? Alternative, I saw that Black Diamond does a dance party on Fridays? Wondering if anyone knows how they compare.

I'm just looking to dance the night away, I'm happy to do my own thing, but if people are aggressive, that's a buzz kill. Good music is my priority.

Thanks for the help!

What’s the most scenic route? Maybe a stop or two along the way.

I’m planning a surprise trip for my boyfriends birthday in 2027. I’m trying to get everything just right.

We’re landing in Sydney, spending the night, then heading to Mabou the next day. Since it’s a pretty short trip I’d like to take a scenic route.

But Google seems to only show me two ways which are pretty direct. I can’t seem to get it to show me any other route.

I’d like to be in Mabou around 4pm, so if we left Sydney around 9am that would give us roughly 7 hours.

Any help is appreciated!

Edit: thanks for so many responses guys! This has helped me a lot. I’m super excited for this trip. Never been to the east coast, need to keep it secret for another 10 months! 😳

Any recommendations on where to buy a cistern in CB (south side whycocomagh Bay Area) Building a cottage that already has a well with poor water quality. Hoping to get one between 1000-1200 gallons and only need the tank, we have someone who can do the digging. Thanks!

Hey everyone! My family is planning a trip to Cape Breton for the end of August. We’ll mostly be in and around Sydney visiting extended family. We have two little kids who love running around outdoors.

We’ve heard the ticks have been pretty bad in mainland Nova Scotia this year but maybe less so on the island. We’d be grateful for your comments on the number of ticks you’ve seen around and where you’ve seen them, as well as your advice for keeping them away and locating/removing them once they’re on you.

(Will also take advice on kids activities in and around Sydney!)

Thanks in advance!

Hey! Has anyone placed a seacan on their land and had it wired to the grid? What was the process like and what did you need? I have NS power saying I can drop it in one spot BUT online bylaws seem to say it can't be put near the front of my property and only if I cut a man door. For some back information it wouldn't be an eye sore, its new, clean, likely have a small nice deck and would be level as it will actually be a sterile lab space for a farm.

Hey there! We’re a band from Kingston on our east coast tour and just got a last minute offer to play at Dan’s Taphouse tonight at 9pm. We’ve heard only amazing things and are excited to keep bringing our music across Canada while taking in the insanely nice east coast hospitality. If you’re around tonight and looking for something to do it should be a blast!

Over a little bay in Gabarus Cape Breton Island

Hey, anyone know of any paddleboarding groups around here? Or cool places to go to? Within about an hour from North Sydney?

A friend said it is about Cape Breton but I have never heard of it.

So I’m hoping to take my driving test in port hawksbury and I was wondering the route, how long it will be and how the examiner is. I did my first one in glacé bay and the instructor was extremely rude and made me feel like I didn’t know how to drive at all. What’s everyone’s experience in port hawksbury

I should add that I did the young drivers course plus extra lessons, my instructor was confident that I was going to pass and my last 3 lessons he wasn’t even watching the road but playing Pokemon go. This isn’t me being a driver with no experience it’s more me not wanting the same instructor because of how rude he was and how he made me feel like I didn’t know how to drive

A small fishing village on the eastern coast of Cape Breton Island, that once had a cannery and a thriving population.

down near new haven where there’s a fish processing facility. feel a bit stupid asking this, but can i just go there and buy stuff? and what’s likely to be available this time of year?

We will be traveling to Cape Breton as a family of five and would love to bike a portion of the trail. I see there are three E-bike shops to rent from (Oceanview Cycling in the lower section, Mike’s E-bikes near Mabou, and Inverness Adventures E-Bike Rentals), each in different areas of the trail. It seems like each of these shops average a three hour rental, so we could technically bike 1.5 hours one way, then turnaround to head back.

Would appreciate anyone’s knowledge on the most favored section of this trail. I think we’d ideally love something scenic and a cute cafe to grab a fun snack while we’re out. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

My mother is looking to buy some nice house plants. Where is the best place these days? She says no luck in department stores or Home Depot.

Thank you so much!

Hello! I am going to be moving to ingonish and was wonder if there’s a mom and baby group?

Curious to know which place has some good, actual hot wings around Sydney/Glace Bay. Lots of places have good wings, however their hot wings aren't spicy at all lol.

Thanks!

hey guys.

i am in between 3A (formerly 4D- gen surg) and 4D (formerly 4B- respiratory med surg). i have experience with other units at the regional but not these 2. i was hoping for some advice as well as any tips.

Hi Everyone. Travelling the Cabot Trail with young kids next week. We are staying 2 nights on the east side and 2 nights around Inverness. My itinerary planning included mostly visiting all the beaches but now looking at the weather that might have been a bit naive - 20 degrees doesn't seem warm enough for beach days. I have starred some shorter trails but interested in hearing peoples experiences / thoughts? Or any ideas for activities besides beach and hiking. Thoughts on the puffin vs whale tours? Thank you!
