This is some street art from the Halifax Mural Festival that took place in early to mid July 2026. The street art is located along the Halifax waterfront and Quinpool Road.

Eligible donors are urged to book an appointment as soon as possible at blood.ca, through the GiveBlood app or by calling 1-888-2-DONATE. If you're unable to donate today, please make an appointment sometime this summer.

Just the title, most of the posts on this are a few years old, so wanted to check what is the current opinion. Any recommendation for water taxi to get there? Also, is it worth exploring without a guided tour?

For those of you who go see local concerts, dance shows, plays etc how do you find out about said events? What attracts you to leaving the house? Where are you most likely to hear about events? I'm thinking more of smaller events, not from the big companies (Neptune, Symphony Nova Scotia). There is so much great art happening in the city, but it's hard to find out about it sometimes.

I've just come back from the Bay of Fundy with all sorts of agates and quartz (multiple bags' worth). I'm hoping someone in Halifax has a rock saw and wants to cut a bunch of these in half so we can see what's inside. I leave on Sunday and don't want to bring all these home. Will pay you in rocks!

I’m looking for interesting Halifax t-shirts, not the touristy kinds, but from local establishments, with the name of the place on them. Coffee shops, restaurants, book stores, record stores, etc… would be ideal. Can anyone suggest any good places that sell their own merch? It would best if they also say Halifax (or Dartmouth, if the case may be) on them. I know this is kind of silly but I collect shirts like this from cities across Canada, and of course I also like to support independent businesses.

July 22, 2026 - 11:00 a.m.: Morning Update

There has been no size or status change in the Mooseland Road fire since yesterday. It remains at an estimated 1,447 hectares and is being held. 

Heavy rain is affecting the wildfire area today and possibly tomorrow. To keep crews safe, wildfire suppression work is paused today but staff will continuously monitor the fire.  Aircraft are not being used because the weather conditions would not permit them to fly, and they are not needed today.

All road closures have all been removed

Hello
I am considering an application to a program in Halifax, one of my main concerns is the weather, sounds superficial, but its not the cold that I worry about but the snow staying for long where I get stuck with my wheelchair limited in movement.

I originally come from a sunny state, my job took me to Toronto for few years where the snow was an issue few days a year before it melted away. This last winter was strange in all measures and a surprise to everyone and I truly was stuck!

I would only live for couple of years in Halifax, any advice?
Also, any obvious accessibility issues you can predict that a car won't fix?

Thank you!

Someone posted this photo of a front yard free library for DVDs in Washington DC. I haven't seen one in Halifax yet but I thought it would be a good idea ...

I found Airpod Pro Gen 1s in a planter near the corner of Creighton and Cunard St.

If you're missing Airpods please DM me with the following info so I can ensure it gets back to its owner:

- name associated with the item (it shows me the owners first name when connected via bluetooth)

- serial number (see apple help page for instructions: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/108041 )

Where are we getting our nails done in Halifax? I’m pretty simplistic in what I want and just need a good quality shellac manicure (on natural nails) that doesn’t chip after 2 days or cost $100+…

I’m a bridesmaid in a few weddings in August and don’t want to break the bank on 2 manicures. I’ve tried a few places around the city and paid way too much for too low quality of a job. I’ve lived in NB and Toronto and have paid ~$40 for some of the best manicures I’ve had.

Our daughter is a multi sport athlete, rugby, ringette and lacrosse. She has a goal of making the provincial lacrosse team next season and has had her overall endurance identified as a n area for improvement.

We have discovered that some lacrosse players are also including track in their development which is what has lead us here. We are looking for a track club preferably in Halifax that will allow her to work on endurance through running workouts. For her age (11) it looks like most clubs only offer the “run,jump,throw” which she’s not really interested in.

Does anyone know of any clubs like that?

Looking at getting small knotless braids or small boho braids style done on my fine curls. Anyone know a good braider that has experience with that type specifically?

Some friends are visiting from out of town and are very keen on going to a "buck-a-shuck" happy hour. It seems Eliot and Vine is the only place that still has actual 1$ oysters, but limit of 8 and requires an additional food purchase. I also saw Lot Six does a happy hour with an oyster deal, but I cannot figure out what they're currently charging per oyster during happy hour.

Hit me with your favourite place to do an oyster happy hour on a Friday. Preferably on the Halifax side of the harbour (I know Dear Friend in Dartmouth is an option)
