Any fun or off the beaten path recommendations for sites/museums/hikes/sea glass beaches/breweries to visit when traveling to Bay of Fundy, PEI, cape Breton, Lunenberg, Truro, Halifax, keji national park and anything along the way? :D Tips are also welcome, thanks!

Just rented a house on a private road. There must be 50 - 60 residences on this road that follows it's way around a lake. Who owns private roads? Surely it's not just some guys property that has agreed to let dozens of homeowners use it. Must be an awful lot of land taxes paid by that individual if so. I can't comprehend how this works.

Hello.

I have about 70 pieces of 2x8x10 dried rough sawn hemlock that I need dressed. Can anyone suggest a mill that isn't too far away from Halifax that you can recommend?

Thanks.

Does anyone have experience getting hired in Nova Scotia while still living in the US?

We're trying to immigrate to Canada. Based on our situation, the best pathway to permanent residency is to qualify for the express entry pathway via a job offer.

It seems like a tough situation because employers want to hire someone promptly and I need an offer so that I can finish the application for express entry, and then move to NS. The absolute fastest I could see that happening is 6 months.

Its like a chicken and egg situation.

What if we arrive to Canada on a travel visa to set up residency while I do remote work (located in the US) and then start applying to jobs from within Canada? After which I would finish the residency application from within Canada. Even then I would still need 4-6 months for the express entry application to go through to be eligible for work. Is that even legal?

I'm kinda lost. Open to any and all suggestions and resources! Thanks nurses!

Can you do skinning anywhere in NS?

I'm travelling from Ontario to Nova Scotia tomorrow to visit my son for a week and was hoping some of you folks could help me out. I'll be renting a car and was just wondering if there are any major differences in driving laws to be aware of? Any toll roads to avoid?

Any info is much appreciated!

I know this is not new, but how put of touch can you be? It's 2 folds, whoever told her this was fine/her for expecting that she could do this.

Anything to do with upper management in hospitals is political, their moves reflect on the government so I am completely baffled by this. In no way does this look good to the staff of the hospital's, or is it likely fun to work with someone doing this while everyone else is in the office.

Accidentally sent a very large etransfer to a guy I bought fish from once, a very long time ago, at his food truck in Truro.

The $700 was supposed to go to my livestock feed supplier and was sent mid-August.

Transfer went to henrycaissie----@gmail.com (edited) and was accepted. I have reached out to him via email.. banks not open until Tuesday.

Wondering if there is a chance anyone has contact info for him?

I am so stressed and critters need food.

Looking for recommendations for car insurance.

I'm 32, just got my full license in May and planning on buying an older Honda.

I looked at TD and CAA and both had crazy high quotes.

I know I'm a new driver and that will have a big impact but I went through a driving school so that should help right?

Everyone I talk to is paying less than 200 a month and my quotes are over double that!

Help me please I don't know what I'm doing obviously.

Hi there,

I got a message today from Nova Scotia student assistance saying they can't go further with my application for Nova Scotia student assistance due to my " program length" issues. I've only had 4 others loans. Graduated from nscc in the two years.

Current taking an undergraduate and in my last 6 months but decided I finally need to apply for loans for this degree. It's a 4 year program, and I took a year when my son was born , but resumed immediately.

I'm just confused ?

Can anyone share their experience with the registration process with the NS College of Counselling Therapists? I can’t seem to get through to anyone and can’t start the process without them approving me to do so? I have called and sent emails… what else can I do? Or is this just the way it is?

Howdy,

I’m looking for contact information of a single specific PID.

Curious if any would be willing to use up some of their time for one search for me.

Appreciation is given, thank you! 🙏

Hey folks, I'm planning to visit NS for fall colors between Oct 4 to Oct 8. Is it a good time or will I be early?

I'm planning to move out of my current place and find another apartment in December. Is it common to find available apartments during that month, or will it be more difficult compared to other months?

Paper Excellence has been holding stakeholder meetings with Queens Council, Rick Perkins Office and business leaders like Freeman Lumber. To discuss feasibility. Can they make a profit? How much $$ will the province and Feds give them? When and WHO will ($$$) twin the highway from Bridgewater to Liverpool.

How will they gloss the environmental impact study next year?

2030 the Mill construction start lands at the same time damn project begins.

How many jobs? Where do they live? How many trucks will be on the road?

Housing poverty is a mess already!

Queens County Residents - are you ready to host round two of Paper Excellence?

Billion Dollar and huge government loans.

Will they make the same mess in Liverpool as they did in Pictou?

This should be topic number one in the Queens Mayor race.

A lot of companies will cover solar panels, but really limit what damage types they're willing to cover. Things like wind/snow/hail/animal damage aren't always covered.

Do any of the companies cover these types of damage under their endorsements? I have to assume these would be the most common causes of damage to solar equipment.
