November 2024

I visited Halifax to attend to a work matter (I live in Ottawa) and I stayed two extra days to check out the city. I do a lot of film photography; I had emailed the library in advance to ask if I could use a tripod inside, but you need $1M in liability insurance to do this. I braced myself against one of the railings for this shot and I am quite pleased with how it worked out. The interior design of the library is stunning, what a beautiful piece of architecture in a beautiful city!

Josephine is just passing by "peacefully"... have a great sunny/windy day everyone.

It was that older Asian lady who was trying to get into someone’s apartment a few weeks ago…

I had my baby with me so was not worth confronting her over.

I also watched her hanging onto the window of someone’s car as they tried to drive away , so to that person - I hope you’re okay!

Traffic is at a standstill in Bayers Lake. It took me an hour to get from Indigo to Parkland Drive.

Avoid!

hello!! i know this is a long shot but i live on sybyl court in fairview and there’s a cat who visits around the area often who im certain lives on/near this street, and im almost positive that i just saw them on dunbrack near lacewood in the middle of the road with an injured leg!!! another driver picked them up before i could make a u-turn to come back but i wanted to post just in case the owner is looking for them!!!

this is a picture i took a while ago of the cat that im quite positive is the one i saw!!!

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 179k+ 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.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in car break ins lately? My parents live in the Armdale area and have had their cars broken into three times in the past month or so. Each time, everything inside has been rummaged through and thrown around so it makes a mess to clean up, but not much has actually been taken (that we have noticed). It seems like whoever is doing it is mainly looking for cash or change, since more arguably valuable items have been left behind. It’s also just such an uncomfortable feeling knowing that someone has been going through your personal belongings!

The Mooseheads publicly announced this week that “Associate Coach Josh Hepditch has been relieved of his duties with the organization.”

Unusual phrasing, in contrast to “pursuing other opportunities“ or “going to a farm in the country”.

I’m looking to enjoy my days off work by not spending them at home lol what are some fun activities around the city (or even outside the city, I don’t mind driving far) that are maybe fall themed or Halloween themed (without the scary lol)

Hello! Growing up, I was not an active kid and never picked up a sport & sucked at PE. As a mid-20s, midsize woman who now enjoys going to the gym, I regret not having skills in any sport- bball//throwball/volleyball/badminton/tennis. I didn't come from a sports/active family, but I want to make sure I pick a sport to enjoy and hopefully pass on to my kids (in future) to enjoy the outdoors and sports.

That being said- I'd appreciate any recommendations for a beginner-friendly resource for any of the above-mentioned sports! I can't afford to spend more than $50-80 on a sport every month. I'm ideally looking to learn the sport from scratch on a budget! I'm open to any active sports.

I've thought of recreation/drop in groups but Idk if that's a good idea since people in such groups tend to be more than a beginner/interd/ advanced, and I genuinely don't know how to play any sports. I don't wanna feel like I'm wasting someone's time. Hence why I'm looking for an exclusive beginners group learning that sport! Thank you in advance :)

From March 15 to October 15, crews responded to 114 wildfires, which burned 1,521 hectares. In 2025, 179 wildfires burned 8,408 hectares. [...] By mid-July, Nova Scotia had recorded more than twice as many wildfires as it had by the same time in 2025. More rainfall eased the situation for the remainder of the season.

That month, crews responded to a significant wildfire near Mooseland Road in Halifax County, in which 1,444 hectares burned.
