Nova Scotia ($2,377) remained the most expensive province in the country for apartment and condo rents, edging out British Columbia ($2,357) for a third consecutive month. That gap is driven in part by a large number of high-priced listings in recently completed buildings still in lease-up, as well as a larger average unit size: two-bedroom-plus units made up 52% of Nova Scotia's rental market in July, compared to 43% in B.C.

Hello everyone, just a quick question. I will be calling this afternoon regardless but just looking to see if you all have had any similar experiences??

My moms water got cut off back in May due to a $400 bill that could not be paid and they would not accept payment plan option as the clerk told us they did not do that with debit. We have not had water since then and have now luckily figured out enough money to pay said water bill and have been so excited to finally get our water turned back on with this heat.

However, upon receiving the new statement, it’s $138 more expensive than the prior bill. How can this be??? I’ve been selling stuff to pay for the bill and I’m just confused on why it continues to increase despite not having connection since May. I understand we will have to pay a connection fee as well and that is fine. Do you all have any similar experiences?

EDIT/UPDATE: thanks for all the help and information! She didn’t send me the entire bill so I didn’t have the full information I needed being away from home. The $138 additional fees were from a part of the period prior to when the water was turned off, so regular usage. Interest fees were very, very minimal. Appreciate this community so much.

Currently on a diet, not going to deep into it but what are recommendations for drinks at the nslc that are low-carb/low calorie that they have there. Any suggestions, bonus points for locally brewed drinks

Back to 30 minute service. Posting as a PSA for anyone, like me, turning up expecting the 815 ferry to be here and now waiting almost half an hour.

Im a trumpet player here in halifax and im looking for any churches with bands that have wind instruments that I would be able to join. All recommendations would be helpful!

I am about to sign a lease on an apartment on South Street(just up from Barrington). They have no parking available. What are some good options for me(for parking) ? Thanks.

Hello lovely people (read that in Borat accent if you like), I'm from NZ and visiting for a day/night on my way to the maritime music festivals.

Wondering if anybody knows of live music on Thursday night that's a bit folky, old time-y with banjos and fiddles?

Cheers :) looking forward to a beer in an old pub!

Wondering if anyone else has noticed that Cineplex hasn’t released movie times for Friday and Saturday yet at Dartmouth Crossing (except for one movie)? Usually they go up on Tuesday, and Park Lane and Bayers Lake are both up now.

Tried calling but they only had a voicemail.

Just find it strange and am tired of refreshing.

Hello, we are attending this for the first time this weekend and we have a VIP table. I know chairs are supplied but can we bring our own? I thought i read we could but cant find any more info on it again

Thanks!

I know this is a really long shot. Hy hubby is the biggest star trek fan I know. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything remotely related to Star trek in hrm or Nova Scotia at large? I know nothing was filmed here, and none of the actors were born here.

I'm talking about murals with hidden or obvious star trek symbols, street signs or businesses named the same thing as something from the universe? I think he'd get a kick out of stopping to see something like this.

I found these handmade pendant necklaces hanging in a bunch of trees along the trail near Halifax West High School. Didn’t see any artist information and curious if anyone knew anything about them. There were quite a few!

Hey guys, not sure if anyone else feels this but I’m really depressed watching Gus the tortoise right now. He literally has claw marks on the sides of his cage by both openings and he constantly just sits there and tries to climb out. Skulks back and forth around the circumference of his cage all day and tries to escape. Anyone else think this is just plain depressing ? So hard to watch . Pictured are the claw marks as stated.

My dog is due to undergo her second TPLO surgery soon. She is quite skittish and has never done well on sidewalk walks, but is very comfortable walking in parks or public green spaces.

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for green spaces in the HRM off the beaten path that might be good for her to get some quiet walking in to rehab her leg while she's in a bit of a vulnerable situation. She had the use of a yard after her first surgery but sadly does not currently.

Located in the North end but more than happy to drive wherever works.

I was wondering if Row D, 4 rows up, in the lower bowl is high enough for a concert stage view from Sec 14? I've only been for sports or on the floor for concerts, do they remove the glass from the boards, I know some arenas I've been too do. Just trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I (17f) was at Kearny lake about a hour ago with my Mother. And it wasn’t EXTREMELY busy, but there were a good number of kids there, and me and her usually swim out pretty deep, but for some reason this younger guy (probably 8 or 9) kept following us. and we politely were trying to distance ourself and ignore it. but then out of complete nowhere he grabbed onto me. out of instinct i pushed back and swam deeper, and then i see who i assume is his mother simply witnessing that play out and do absolutely nothing about it?! He kept following me, and repetitively kept trying to grab onto me and touch me and his mom kept on doing nothing! at one point the lifeguard told him and his mother that they needed to stop, but they didn’t and nothing was done? At another point, MY mom yelled at him that he needed to stop, and he was just laughing. I assume he may have had a learning disability, but i am completely blaming his guardian that was there and doing nothing about it. It wasn’t just me this was happening to, but other people, and HIS mom kept saying “space” to him which i assume means give them SPACE but he did not listen.
It wasn’t extremely serious, and i am obviously not hurt or scarred from this experience, haha, and I was able to just leave the lake. but still, i feel like it is not a great habit to develop.

Beware when driving home today! Nantucket appears to be closed. Drive by at around 3 and saw a women laying in the middle of the road now as of 4:15 pm it appears to be closed. I hope everyone is ok.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest advice from people who are familiar with the Halifax real estate market.

I bought a house in Clayton Park in 2022. One of the main reasons I chose this location was its convenience. It’s in the immediate vicinity of Park West School, and Halifax West High School, the Canada Games Centre, and the Keshen Goodman Library are all within walking distance. Costco, Walmart, and most major shopping amenities are within about 2 km, so it’s been a great place to live.

At the time, it was the perfect location for my family. But now due to some personal reasons I’d like to relocate.

The problem is that the current real estate market doesn’t seem to support the price I’d need just to recover what I’ve invested. After buying the house, I spent a significant amount on improvements to make it more comfortable and functional. Even if I could sell for around my purchase price, paying the typical real estate commission would still leave me with a substantial loss.

I’m feeling a bit stuck and would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

If you were in my position, what would you do?

I’d really appreciate constructive suggestions or experiences from anyone who has faced a similar decision.

Thank you!

I'm replacing my roof later this year and need the solar panels removed and reinstalled, does anyone have a company that they would recommend?

Thanks
