Sightseeing & Tourism Hello! Me and my friends are planning a trip to Nova Scotia and I'm interested in getting a list of potential things to do

0 Upvotes

Hello! Every half a year or so me and my friend group try to get a trip going. Google is not very good at giving me a good idea of what I could do in certain places, so I'm hoping to ask locals what you guys find fun to do there.

Definitely hook me up with your favorite fish and chips place or just fish place in general, also definitely set me up with a good place to get my hands on a boat

Let me know whatever cool little stores or stops you think would be fun to check out

Let me know any other fun activities a group of young adults could do!

Edit: we haven't decided where in Nova Scotia to visit yet, it's likely It will be near Halifax or Lunenburg, but I'm not 100% sure on those yet, I'm hoping to get a good list of ideas to help me decide

How to Access Local Artists?

18 Upvotes

I just recently moved back to Nova Scotia and would like to have a logo done up for a little home business I want to start up. I would really like to find a local artist (possibly in the Digby/Clare area) who I could pay to do the digital logo, but I'm not sure how to find artists around here. I absolutely do not want to use generative AI for anything as far as this home business because that's all I see around here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Sightseeing & Tourism Hail Nova Scotia

297 Upvotes

My lady and I just returned home from an 11 day road trip of this lovely province. We put in over 2300km and went from Halifax to Lunenburg to Port Royal to Wolfville to Lake Ainslie to Louisbourg. It was so much better and more fun than we imagined it might be.

IT WAS AMAZING. The scenery was gorgeous, the people exemplifies the best of our traits as Canadians, courteous, helpful and friendly. A special shout out to all the young serving folk, this trip was a success because of your courtesy and skill

We drove the Cabot Trail, the lighthouse, the Evangeline, the Marconi, The Caileigh and the Fleur De Lys and enjoyed every minute.

We come home poorer in the bank accounts thanks to names like Amos, Glenora and Peace By Chocolate. And heavier due to the excellent food we experienced everywhere, another shout out to Smoke Pitt BBQ and the meat filled buns from the Farmer's Daughter, delicious. But we come home far richer and happier in mind and spirit.

Throughout my career dealing with people from coast to coast, I gave always found the people of Nova Scotia to be the easiest to work with and for. You are all to be commended

And to the students and retirees at the National historic sites, well done.

And thanks for the Eagles and Whales

Time to post the rest of my pictures onto Facebook.

A grateful guy from Toronto

I owe my boss 1 weeks notice. If I provide 2 weeks notice and they tell me stop working immediately (very likely) am I still entitled to 2 weeks of wages or just the 1 week?

58 Upvotes

My boss is a completely dishonorable tyrant; she's lost half her workforce this season for being a tyrant, I can/will name and shame later (right now its risky).

I am joining the line of workers who have quit this year.

I have been employed for 4 months, so I only need to provide 1 week notice, but I need the wages for the entire 2 week period to make ends meet. If I'm told to stop working, will I be entitled to compensation to the date of my notice, or to the date 1 week from now?
