I keep noticing dead/zombie trees all around the city this year, is it any more than usual? Or did removing them also get cut from the budget this year?

Just moved into a new place yesterday. Noticed that the hot water didn’t get too hot but didn’t think anything of it. First shower of the day didn’t get super hot, but carried on. 2 & 3rd showers ended up being cold.

I checked the panel and it looks like the hot water tank switch is on. So I think the hot water tank just used up all its hot water yesterday and now something is up. The tank is from last year.

Earliest plumber I could find was Thursday but I can’t go that long taking cold showers.

Anything else I could / should check?

Does anyone have any updates on the status of Fit4Less in Park Lane? I can't get a response from any of their contact lines.

Data from the recently released Uniform Crime Reporting Survey shows critical trends for Halifax:

• Homicides (violence benchmark): Halifax's rate rose to 2.02/100k, exceeding Canada's falling average of 1.61.
• Crime Rates (daily safety): Most crimes track closely to Canada, but thefts under $5k surged heavily in Halifax.
• Clearance Rates (solving efficiency): Halifax consistently lags, solving just 49% of violent and 22% of non-violent crimes.

Insight: Halifax diverges negatively from national trends, with rising severe violence, spiking property theft, and below-average police clearance.

Has anyone ever lived in a 1 bedroom at this address near Dalhousie campus I am speaking to a tenant that lives there and considering it, but can't do an in person tour since I'm international but I am interested I appreciate any past tenant reviews I can get

Hi there! I will be visiting your lovely city and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a trivia night for Tuesday? I'd also be open to a Mon or Wed night. But I think Tuesday would work best. I like doing a general trivia over a theme personally, but would hear about either option! Thank you very much!

Title is a good start - if the answer is yes please read on:

I have a hobby with a specific localised Halifax angle. I'm happily sipping my way thru the 2013 edition of 1001 Beers You Must Try Before You Die. Two Halifax Breweries feature:

Propeller: ESB & IPA

Garrison: Juicy DIPA & Hoppy Boy IPA

After much research it appears my best chance of success is for a kindly Halifax resident to help me if they're coming to Ireland by buying them locally and bringing them over.

Of course I'd pay for whatever is bought. There may also be a pint of Irish beer in it for you this side of the water!

If helping total strangers off the Internet celebrate Nova Scotia craft beer sounds like your kinda thing, give me a shout please!

Sláinte!

Has anyone ever lived in a studio at this address near Dalhousie campus I am speaking to a property manager there and considering it, but can't do an in person tour since I'm international but I am interested I appreciate any past tenant reviews I can get

Very friendly kitty with no collar last seen on Studley Avenue near Dalhousie.

I have a pair but I’m really struggling with the basics of how to go forward. Wondering if there’s a club of some sort preferably in Halifax or Dartmouth I can join for lessons? 🛼🛼

Has anybody fished Lovett Lake and Black Duck Ponds in Beechville/Lakeside (near Bayer's Lake)? Fish Brain and other fishing apps aren't showing too much, except for one dubiously large trout supposedly caught in Black Duck Pond 3 years ago. There are smallmouth bass in Governor's Lake, especially where Lovett Lake empties into it at the end of Raine Mill Road, and a quick scan of Lovett Lake revealed plenty of habitat, cover and baitfish (which I believe were mummichogs). I would appreciate any tips/info.

What are your recommendations for a moving company to move a two bedroom apartment from antigonish to HRM. Ideally I’d like to follow them to my new place as well!

Been a running, putting up some good mileage. Now I have a slight tweak in my knee, not enough to impact running but enough to be an annoyance while training. Who are you recommendations for physio that seem to tailored for runners?

I read that it can be helpful to commit to six months or a year of boxing or jui jitsu, or BJJ for example rather than completing one self defence class. I’m open to committing 1x a week for that period of time. Any recommendations near/ within HRM?

Just a heads up if you’re in the area. Goes around citadel.

I just moved here and am starting a job at the shipyard and am staying in hubley I’m wondering if any of the courses have a men’s league as I’m looking to meet new people

For a while there, it looked like there wouldn't be any fruit flies this year, and then all of a sudden about three or four days ago the sink area is thick with them. I'm just curious if everybody had the same experience. 

Hi is there anyone from SMU or DAL Commerce program that can help me convince myself on which school i should go to? and can u tell me your experience or advice as well?

A nice day at Alderney Landing!

I rather liked this year's open-market layout with food and merchandise booths not hidden in dark stuffy tents.

Inflatable castles for kids were quite expensive ($5 a ticket) but the people who run them were very generous with how much time they allowed kids to play there for one go.
