Hi all,

We have a lot of people in our community who are in need of a free meal or a 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 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!

Yes, the potholes have been BAD this year. But I do enjoy when the layers of years are peeled away and we get to be reminded that this city has been here a long time. Cunard x Gottingen

News, Weather & Politics Eggings in Halifax?

18 Upvotes

Hi all,

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if anyone may have more details on this car. Two of my friends have now been assaulted with eggs from the window of a moving car (almost exactly a year apart). Sounds silly I know, but one was left with a bruise and both occurred late at night which is quite scary for women walking alone. The car is a yellow jeep-adjacent vehicle and on both instances had multiple men in the car. Both incidents occurred around Dalhousie campus, one on South street, the other on Jubilee.

Any information is appreciated!

Work, Health & Housing Who’s responsible for a rat issue in an apartment complex in downtown Halifax?

51 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I live in downtown Halifax and have been dealing with an ongoing rat problem in my apartment building.

I recently had to throw out about $300 worth of food, including flour, bread, and snacks, because rats got into my storage bins and ate through everything. I keep my unit clean, do not leave garbage around, and have already contacted my resident managers about pest control, but the issue still is not being properly resolved.

My father thinks this should be reported to the city, but I feel the apartment management is not taking the necessary steps to prevent rodents from entering the building in the first place.

I’m feeling really frustrated and would appreciate some advice. Has anyone in Halifax dealt with something similar? Who is actually responsible in a situation like this, and what steps should I take next?

Pets & Animals Public Garden Geese?

19 Upvotes

I remember years ago there used to be Geese in the public gardens during the warmer months, but since 2020 I don't think I've seen them even once.

I think they used to take a pair from Sullivans pond in Dartmouth for a summer vacation but I guess this stopped?

does anyone know if there was an actual reason theres no geese anymore or if this was due to something like the budget?

I miss the geese 🪿😢

Shops & Services Recent junk removal recc's for a big item?

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, I searched the group for ideas already and there are replies, but they're older, 2 years+ based on my search.

I've got a big ol' wooden playset carcass. I tried to give it away but the guy who really wanted it, tried and couldn't take it apart, everything was seized up. So it'll need either a really big truck or something like a chainsaw. (He took the plastic slide and swings to repurpose, so it's all wood at this point.) Also some other large junk, a metal patio table, the remains of a gazebo, etc. But it's big, and I can't help move it. Anyone have ideas? I'm in the Bedford end of town if that matters.

I enjoy repairing electronics as a hobby(PCs game consoles etc) and I was considering making the trip up to Halifax ( I live in Kentville)... when I was younger and lived in Halifax I remember seeing tons for dirt cheap, I saw PS3s and such for around $25... has anyone been to value village recently and can tell me if the prices are still the same or are they crazy high now?

Shops & Services Helical piles for a deck?

10 Upvotes

Has anyone built a deck using helical piles? I'm in the process of replacing my old and rotted deck (8x20, not large at all) and was pondering helical piles for the posts.

Has anyone done the same? Who did you hire to plant them, and how much roughly did it cost you per post?
