Hey to all I am posting this in regards to qe2 hospital to anybody in Halifax,

Here are the reasons why.

Number one my partner went in to go deal with his health via ambulance and the paramedics left him in the waiting room for over 24 hours and the paramedics and everybody there at Qe 2 refused him medical help due to what he’s been dealing with, since I had to go to my appointment on Monday last week and when we went back tonight to go and deal with it, the nurses refused to get the head nurse to see him to advocate for his well-being. We had called 811 and 811 thought it was mental health issues and it’s not mental health issues. It is a respiratory issue and pretty much all the nurses didn’t want to get the head nurse and refused him help and the nurse is basically gave him a waiver of a liability.

Secondly, you don’t treat your patience like they don’t exist.

Thirdly, why is there homeless people being taken in front of him when he has a respiratory issue.

It doesn’t make sense when somebody’s having a mental health crisis to go over to the ER instead of Abby Lane and vice versa.

What is this fucking hospital doing to everybody making everybody dead and sick?

May I add with an i.v in his arm he went home with it

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Halifax from Toronto, where I used to organize monthly ladies’ brunches and dinners. They became something I really looked forward to a chance to meet lovely women, share a meal, and have conversations that went beyond small talk.

We chatted about books, business ideas, goal setting, the economy and market updates, as well as whatever was happening in our lives. It was a lovely way to exchange perspectives, encourage each other, and build friendships.

I’d love to bring that same feeling here: a welcoming table where you can come on your own, feel included, and leave knowing a few new faces. 😊

Would you be interested?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any feedback!

What time does the show open tomorrow.
Ticket says 7:30 but it’s not clear if that’s first artist going on or Door open. I haven’t been to the metro Center in a while so any help would be appreciated.

Car and what looks to be a house key found on Locks Rd . Found with key strap saying ’Aidan’. Found at roughly 5:30 PM on Tuesday Oct 13 while walking my dog. If this belongs to you or you think it may belong to someone you know, please DM or reply to this post

From the museum -

"An update on Gus the gopher tortoise - October 13th, 2026.

The procedure to remove his bladder stone was a success, and he is resting comfortably with his care team.

Gus will remain with his veterinary care team for close observation for 48 hours, before returning to the museum later this week.

Gus will be recovering behind the scenes for the next 8-10 weeks, but we will continue to share updates on his recovery.

Thank you to his vet team for their excellent care of our beloved Gus and to everyone for your support and well wishes."

Hi everyone, saw this on Facebook and didn’t see a full release about it anywhere as I know we were all discussing it. Seems that the first hit and run on Sunday where they lost the truck seems to have had the suspect apprehended. Included the screenshot of the post here. Glad to see they found them - blurred the name due to the rules of the sub.

Looking for a good garage with reasonable pricing for winter tire swap that are not yet on rims (new tires and new steel wheels). Preferably in dartmouth/bedford/sackville area. I have a Subaru if that changes anything. Thanks!

On the hunt for a half decent non-alc wine to buy in town! Any suggestions?

Hi everyone

I'm looking for recommendations for a cleaner to come to a seniors' home while they are in the hospital to prep and clean their space so that they can come back to a safe and healthy home.

Important: There have been some bathroom-ish accidents that were left but it's not a hoarding situation. I need someone within the next few days and, of course, will pay an excellent wage for this vital service.

Thanks in advance.

Part of the upgrades to the 54-year-old day care includes installing a new energy-efficient electric heat pump system, as the building is currently heated by an oil-filtered boiler and baseboard radiators from the 1970s. [...] [African Nova Scotian Affairs Minister Twila] Grosse, said the spending would also go toward upgrades like solar panels, new insulation, windows and doors and energy-efficient light fixtures.

EDIT: The govenrment release is here: https://news.novascotia.ca/en/2026/10/13/government-invests-north-preston-child-care-centre

My son's pre-preprimary teacher found out last Monday that she was being let go and that her last day was last Friday.

For context, she is lovely and the kids love her (I have four kids and they've all gone through pre-primary with varying degrees of good ECEs).

She, and I think a few others, were apparently let go because of low enrolment numbers across the HRCE and she is contract. She was told someone with a permanent ECE position would be moved into the role. And then last Friday, after tearful goodbyes with the kids, she was called and asked if she could sub for today (Tuesday) because they had no one to cover her now empty position, and was also then asked to sub for the rest of the week. Because they have no one. Despite literally a week ago having someone in the role.

So now she is subbing for an empty position which was her position and now no longer getting the benefits of contracted work.

The lack of forethought and care and planning and just like general competence of the people in charge in this province is honestly staggering. I don't know who ultimately makes the decisions in this situation, where the directive to fire someone comes from (is it all the way from the top? I don't know) but the instability it creates for not only a person who thought they had a guaranteed job for the year, but also the kids who are in this really tough transitional period in their lives is horrible.

Does anyone have a chair and glassware rental recommendation in Halifax? I need about 30 folding chairs for a party as well as glasses, so not a big order. I'd always rather go with a recommendation than just choosing blindly from google. Many thanks!

Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for a reliable, responsive CPA in the Halifax area based on personal experience. Some online reviews seem questionable (bought!) and a couple firms I've contacted haven't responded.

We need help with two things:

* Receiving a substantial inheritance from abroad and ensuring we have the proper documentation for CRA.

* Tax planning for our rental property, including whether my husband can reasonably compensate me for managing ours.

Ideally, someone knowledgeable in both areas who can help us plan ahead rather than just file our taxes.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Got a 10th generation ipad for free from my bank a few years ago. But last month it bricked itself. I won't turn on at all. I've tried charging it for many hours and with different charger. I've tried the reset button code multiple times. It's time to look elsewhere.

It's not covered under warranty anymore. Should I try going through Apple to get it fixed? I fear they'll tell me to just buy a new one. Does anyone know a good electronics person who could help? Not sure if it's the screen or the battery that's broken.

Thanks in advanced!

Hello folks, I've come to ask about Pellets for my Pellet Stove.

In the past, we'd ordered from Kent and gotten a pallet of pellets (about 50-ish 40lb bags) for about 800 bucks. I was hoping to spend less than that and have had a bugger of a time finding somewhere. The places I found were either in Ontario or sketchy. Hard or Softwood, either *should* be fine, I think. Hoping to find somewhere before the cold actually sets in hard.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or leads, even if it's just "nah man that's the best deal around".

Looking to propose to my girlfriend in late October. Anyone have any recommendations for photographers? My budget is between $300-500.

Thanks in advance!

My wife and I are looking for suggestions for a good way to spend the few days between Christmas and New Years and wouldn't mind getting out of town for a few days. Not wanting a big long trip (we're traveling far for a wedding in November) but something we can drive to in, say, 4-5 hours or less that's worth spending 3 or 4 days at in late December.

It'd just be the two of us (adults, late 40s) so no need for kid/family activities at all. Last year we drove to Charlottetown for 3 days and actually super enjoyed it: yeah everything touristy was shut down but we found nice shops and restaurants downtown and explored the city a little bit. Anything anyone can recommend would be welcome!

Additional context: we've only lived on this side of the country for a year and a half after a lifetime split between western Canada and Europe, so assume I've not seen much outside the HRM.
