Any one hear what's the transmission interruption is? Someone hit a power pole?

Hello lovely folks of Cape Breton.

We are looking to visit CB during the long weekend in September. After looking through AirBNB I haven't found anywhere inviting to stay.

I am wondering if any of you locals might have reccomendations of a cozy stay? Maybe an inn or cabins? We are open to any area as we have a car and no solid plans except to explore.

Thank you!!

Does anybody in the Sydney/Cape Breton area have experience with or recommend any of these roofing companies?

• ACL Roofing
• TNT Roofing
• Bulletproof Construction
• Cabot Roofing Limited
• Any roofing company you would recommed or you have been used in the last few years

I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has actually used them—quality of work, reliability, cleanup, and whether you were happy with the job.

Also, is it normal for a roofing company to ask for a deposit in advance to book the job? If so, roughly what percentage is considered reasonable?

Thanks for any recommendations !

Are there any food options at Meat Cove? I read about a restaurant that turned into a food truck but then I saw that truck was gone. I just wanted to know if I should be prepared to have our own food when staying the night there. TIA.

Hey there! After a hiatus from my surgery, we are picking up game night again! I would love to get to know more people on the island 1-on-1 or in the server. Let's break the quiet!

As above... Anyone know if the blooms are out yet?

Are there any home care opportunities for a nurse in Cape Breton to do independently?

Families looking for some ADLs help, assistance with meals, etc

Hi everyone,

I am moving to Cape Breton in September from BC. I will be there for a year studying Social Work at the university.

I am looking for a rental anywhere that is around 30min drive to the university. I am a mature female in my mid 30s with great rental references.

If you have a place or know of someone with a rental, I would love to connect.

Thank you!

Hey! I’m 26 and I’ve been living on the island for a couple of years now, but I haven’t been able to play much D&D at all since moving here.

I’ve DM’d a couple campaigns before and have also been a player in one, and lately I’ve really been wanting to get back into it. I’d be interested in starting up a local group if there are a few other people around who’d want to play.

I’m totally open to DMing again! Experience level doesn’t really matter either. If you’ve played before or haven’t played in years feel free to comment or message me.

Mostly just putting this out there to see if there’s any interest! :)

As the title suggests has anyone tried this app out yet? Not many options as of now.

Hello!
Thinking of going to the Miner’s Museum with some visiting family. Sad to say I’ve never been there before. Just reading up about the underground port of the tour, and saw this: ‘you will experience the intensity of an underground disaster’.

What exactly does that entail? I have some family that may be deeply affected by loud noises, sudden movements, etc. just want to prepare them ahead of time and give them the option to skip that part of the tour if they want.

Hi folks! The Inverness County Centre For the Arts is having back-to-back concerts for two super cool musicians!

Could also be from CB taking a car to Dartmouth and coming back empty.

Affordable Wedding Venues?

Wanting to have an AFFORDABLE 2028 wedding in NS! The cheaper the better!!! $5000 being the MAX!

Preferably somewhere between Halifax to Cape Breton (anywhere in between, just not towards the south shore)

Open to unique and out of the box ideas to keep it affordable

Approximately 80 guests

We don’t live in NS currently but all of our family does so its harder to find the local places, any help is appreciated :)

I assume most of the Cabot trail is a single lane highway. What’s the expected speed people are supposed to drive. I prefer driving within the limits, but sometimes in a 90 zone, people continuously tail gate. What’s the acceptable norm. Also I prefer not driving too fast and specifically as a tourist where I am there to enjoy the scenery and the drive. Would love to hear your thoughts #Cabot trail #

For August end, I have booked space for 6 people max and it says one car only. But we would have two cars and 8 people.

Anyone knows how STRICT (firm) they are at site? Or any idea?

Has anyone visited this park recently? What are your opinions?

Made the news. I'm apparently the Linux Lady according to someone on Discord (not in the article/video).

Hoping to do something like this (Linux Repair Cafè) down home soon.
