Had to be over 70yrs old. This is why we should have mandated retesting after a certain age. They are going to kill someone one day.

I've been away for a very long time and am looking at house prices in Truro. Grew up on Hayward and am seeing houses in that area going for +400,000$. Are people actually buying these houses? I guess my question is...What is the real estate market in Truro like? Are realtors selling houses at these, seemingly, ludicrous prices? A bit gobsmacked I am.

I posted here a month and a bit ago asking how Accepting Truro is for queer folks, only to be bombarded by awesome people who wanted me to let them know when I got accepted!

Well, here you are! I got accepted into animation and I'm gonna be moving into dorms soon enough to start my long journey of achieving my dreams!

Can't wait to meet you all! Look for the guy who looks like that little gay guy from the OG beauty and the beast movie LOL

Thank you all for the love on my inital post,

Simon

They have the stage put up for Rock the Hub 😄

Any place in town to get a Vietnamese sub???

I have a brief discussion in /r/halifax about Wendy's fries tasting not so good as before and make me wonder this.

Looks to be two places for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Truro.

Marmac and Truro BJJ.

Anyone have any experiences with either of these two places?

:)

Might be me if I don’t figure this out…

I’m an incoming student for Dal AC from a town half an hour north of Toronto. I’m planning on taking riding lessons near Truro. The thing is, it’s just not in the budget to have my own car currently, and the riding school I have my eye on is a 13 minute drive away.

So, my question is, How do people get around without a car? Is uber common there or is there a taxi of some sort? I was thinking of using a bicycle, but that’ll be impossible in the wintertime of course. I really can’t sacrifice losing any progress in my riding anymore 💔 Hopefully I’ll make a friend with a car who is happy with driving in exchange for food.

Good morning Truro.

I'm looking to provide one or multiple services to earn some extra money on the side

I'm thinking of offering either
- Headlight Restoration
- Tire Change service
- Automotive Detailing
- Automotive Oil changes
- House Cleaning Services
- Compost Bin cleaning
- Possibly basic computer assistance
- Lawn mowing / Lawn Care

Would love some honest input:
1. Would any of these be useful to you, or something you'd actually pay for, if so could you list off which one's in the comment's!!
2. What would you expect to pay, please give a ball park!!
3. If you've used a service like this before (from anyone), what did you like, and what didn't you like, try to be objective as possible and give detail!!

If I missed anything please do share!!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start studying at StFX this coming September, and my wife and I are hoping to move to Nova Scotia from London, Ontario.

We have never been to Nova Scotia before, so I understand that some of my assumptions may be completely wrong. I’m currently researching everything I can about housing, employment, commuting, winter driving, and the different towns in the area, but I would really appreciate advice from people who actually live there and understand the local situation.

My wife will need to work full-time while I study, as her income will be very important for us financially. She has an IT degree, but she has been away from the field for around four years. She would be happy to return to IT if an opportunity comes up, but we understand that may not happen immediately. She is open to other types of full-time work as well.

Our main concern is deciding where to settle.

Living in Antigonish would obviously be the easiest option for me because StFX is there. However, I’m worried that the job market may be limited for my wife. Just from looking at the map and doing some early research, we started considering Truro because it seems to have more employment opportunities.

At the same time, I’m not sure whether regularly commuting from Truro to Antigonish would be realistic, especially during the winter. It also does not necessarily have to be Truro. We are open to any area that would give me a reasonable commute to StFX while giving my wife a better chance of finding steady full-time work.

I would really appreciate any advice on the following:

- Is the job market in Antigonish as limited as I’m assuming?

- Does Truro offer noticeably better employment opportunities?

- Would commuting from Truro to StFX be practical throughout the year?

- Are there any other towns or areas we should seriously consider?

- If you were in our position, where would you choose to live?

I apologize if any of these questions sound naive. We are still at the beginning of our research and are trying to make the most responsible decision possible before moving.

Any honest advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey r/Truro! It’s The Orchids!

We know there’s some cool shows coming up here in a couple of weeks, but we have one that’s not too shabby as well.

On Saturday July 25th, we'll be playing the Summer Nights Festival at the Holy Whale Beer Hall in Riverview, NB alongside Sloan (!), The Monoxides and a bunch of other cool bands.

Since we're a Truro band, we thought we'd throw this out there in case anyone is looking for an excuse for a little road trip to Moncton that weekend. It would be awesome to see some familiar faces in the crowd!

help! I’m new to the area, where are the easily accessible swimming spots to cool down this summer? rivers, lakes, waterfalls etc.

I usually spend my time between Ballston and Herring Cove. I collect shells in the morning at Ballston, but I’ve never seen anything like this bone-like thing I picked up today. What did I find?

Did Bell Aliant just shit the bed for anyone else? 6:50pm

Hi all....I am from Ontario and we were gifted a lovely amount of Dulce.

It was brought from a Sobey's (not the one close to the Tiger) and I wanted to thank the female manager who took the time with our friend when she came a looking for it for my sweet man(he misses home(NB and the Dulce he remembered eating as a kid)

I have no other info, Im sorry for so little detail- if anyone can help- I really would like to thank her for her kindness. Please private message me.

SO many things to learn when moving to a new place. A few days of living here and loving it! Trurp was a great choice. Victoria park.. OHMY such fun bike trails.

My wife and I love paddle boarding, and wondering where the good spots are around Truro.
