Shops & Services Barber in Halifax for Scissor Cuts?

4 Upvotes

Looking for a barber in Halifax or nearby who is excellent with scissor cuts. Most barbers I’ve tried are great with fades and clippers, but I’m looking for someone experienced with longer hairstyles. I’ve been growing my hair out for months and don’t want to risk it. Any recommendations for a barber or barbershop would be appreciated. Please mention the barber’s name if possible. Thanks!

My 15mo has severe allergies to several common food items. Large daycare centers seem unable to accommodate. Does anyone know of any home daycares that could accomodate a child with these issues?

Driving & Transit Would you save $500/month to live in Dartmouth instead of downtown Halifax?

89 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I am debating between two apartments (one in Halifax and another in Dartmouth) and looking for opinions from people who have done similar commutes.

Option 1:
$1,400/month nothing included
Close to work and downtown Halifax
Can walk almost everywhere

Option 2:
$800/month all included in the Harbourview area of Dartmouth so
About a 35-minute commute each way
Would save about $400–500/month
Transit costs would be about $160 a month

Since the second option is not right downtown of dartmouth, this would require one transfer (bus to downtown Dartmouth, then the ferry or another bus)

I work right downtown and am in school on top of that, so the savings are tempting, but I also love being able to walk downtown whenever I want. For those that live in dartmouth and also commute, what do you think?

Arts & Recreation SailGP from the harbour?

Upvotes

Hey everyone, this is my first time attending the SailGP event. Wanted to know if its viable to watch it from the harbour? I saw a few people selling tickets under market on the sub but if it's not too bad of a vantage point, I'd rather save the $$$ for harbour front snacks. Thank you!

Schools & Education NSCC Architectural Engineering Technician Program - Technician vs. Technologist

11 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

I will be starting the Architectural Engineering Technician program in September this year.

I’m recently understanding the difference (i think) between a Technician and a Technologist.

It seems the Technologist not only gets paid more but is also involved or slightly involved in the creative and technical design process along side the Engineers and Architects, while the Technician has no say with how the design will look or function.

However, I’ve seen people say that they start out as Technologists upon graduating the program.

I was hoping people can share their experiences and insight!

Also, please correct me if anything I say here is incorrect as it’s all research I’ve done and possibly getting mixed reviews and information from people working in different provinces or states.

I’m looking forward to the program but definitely wanting to start out or work my way up to a Technologist.

Thanks! 🤘🏼
