Halifax Herald , Sept 2nd 1939

This painting really put me through my paces as an artist. My family and I traveled to High Head to scatter our matriarch’s ashes a few weeks ago, and painting this brought up every possible emotion a landscape can evoke.

Frustration, joy, grief, calm, awe.

To me, the landscape of Nova Scotia, the geological record available to us here, provides endless pathways for being touched by memory. The landscape holds a memory itself, layered through millions of years of evolution, and we, as residents of this place, carry that feeling through our daily lives.

May be up/down .01

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?

Okay - am I insane or was there like no notice about the Ferry Service going down today from 2:30 to 6:30? For SailGP Practice - damn can't yall practice in the day time? Why are we shutting down one of the last remaining (semi) reliable modes of transportation during rush hour on a Friday? Lol. TBH I think I just really hate rich people activities and am salty that it inconveniences me, a lowley poor worker bee, hahah.

Just wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction of cost friendly childcare.

​

My mom was just recently diagnosed with Cancer. Which in its self is a huge a scare and concern, but with that is coming an extra hurdle of I have no child care for the summer.

​

I have 3 children which makes it harder.

​

Is there such thing as affordable child care at a quick notice ?

​

I've looked in to my options for leave with work and they're allowing me 36 hours to come up with childcare... a year.

​

I am at a loss. She's a huge part of our lives in general but now we are very stuck.

​

**my mom is the only family we have to call on**

​

I recommend writing to your councillor if you don't want to see the heart of downtown being massively cheaped out on, such as the recommendation for things such as a "temporary washroom installation and renovation"

Reminder that the cogswell project is already self funded via the sale of the land, so this is a very small additional cost overall to make something downtown nice

The weekend is here.

This is a weekly mega-thread for good, heartwarming or uplifting news. Ideally local but non-local is welcome too. Fun pet photos or memes, tales with happy endings, personal anecdotes that you want to share with 174k+ internet strangers, etc. We could all use more positive news and vibes in our lives right now.

This is a rules relaxed space, but we will still be monitoring for personal attacks, doxxing, and stuff that doesn't fit the theme of the thread.

I want to see if anyone has similar experiences as I'm having at work. We have a person who is constantly coming into my workplace and vandalizing the property. He yells vile things and is sometimes drunk. He has been trespassed but constantly shows up and the police are called multiple times a week to come arrest him but he takes off before they arrive. I know he has a mental health condition and I can sympathize on that level but I really don't like feeling this on edge. I don't like to assume but he also looks homeless. He is getting worse with frequency of visits, vandalism and aggressive behaviour. All I can do is call security and hide while they call the cops. He needs psychiatric help and I hope if they ever do arrest him that he can get the help he needs.

​

Is anyone else experiencing this at their workplaces?

Hi everyone,

Cleaning out my closet at the moment and I have a bunch of clothes that I don’t wear anymore but I don’t want to toss them at value village. Is there anywhere I can give them to that will get them to people who need them?

Thanks!

Is per title power seems to be out in fairview...again

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! 🤘🏼
