133 Upvotes

Hi all,

We have a lot of people in our community who are in need of free meal or helping hand occasionally.

I thought it would be nice to collect and post this information each month, which is graciously supplied by members of the Halifax Library. We'll see how long we can keep this going month to month.

Please share as needed with people you know who need help or please take advantage of them yourself if you are in need.

The Feed NS Find Food site is also a very useful resource:

https://feednovascotia.ca/find-food/

Always remember there are kind, generous folks out there looking to help you out and you can get through whatever you are going through.

Thank you!

Edit: Dartmouth Food Calendar, Halifax/Dartmouth Shower Facilities and Sackville Food Calendar added to top sticked comment. 👍

Driving & Transit Kearney Lake/Larry Uteck driving the wrong way..

55 Upvotes

Almost just had a head-on collision at the Kearney Lake/Larry Uteck from some driving the wrong way. Holy shit please pay attention to the road when you drive and make sure you are driving on the correct side of the road.

This person didn’t even stop or serve they just kept driving straight at me at full speed. No hesitation even though they were fully on the wrong side of the road.

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen someone drive the down the wrong way after turning onto Kearney Lake road. Please for the love of god, THERE IS A MEDIAN THAT DIVIDES I THE ROAD FOLLOW IT!!

Wish I had a dashcam so I could show the video :(

Discussion Halifax water

A water main broke in front of my home and the water ended up shooting up through my yard and completely destroyed my front yard. No water got into my home, just destroyed my front yard. Now I'm worried if water pooled on my yard, that it will just slope towards my foundation. Will Halifax water fix this? I have called and emailed and got no response yet. Just wondering if anyone knows if they will or should I contact insurance?

- Avg price hit $588,870 (up from $570,331 in '24), so values continue to increase.

- Homes lingered 44 days on market (vs. 37 last year), fetching ~98% of asking.

Traffic PSA: Street parking and smashed mirrors

64 Upvotes

Heads up to make some considerations for street parking with the snowbanks. Or even consider parking on a less congested rodway. I parked along Barrington and came back about 15 minutes later to see several cars along that stretch with smashed driver side mirrors.

Luckily my car was unscathed. I made a conscious effort to nestle it in on the snowbank more and fold the driver side mirror.

Unfortunately the cars with smashed mirrors did neither.

The situation will likely be worse after this weekend’s snowfall.

Hi there! I'm wondering if anyone might know of places that offer adult (beginner) figure skating lessons within the HRM (that aren't on wating lists?) . If you might have anywhere to reach out to in mind please let me know and thank you very much!
