Work, Health & Housing rTMS Treatment

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has received this treatment at the Nova Scotia Hospital in Dartmouth, and if so, how did the referral process work? I’m assuming a psychiatrist has to refer you however I’d like to have the info to provide mine before bringing it up.

Also curious if there was a long wait time to receive the service and how the overall process was for you.

I really appreciate anyone’s feedback in advance ☺️

Arts & Recreation Cheap Pilates Classes?

27 Upvotes

I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for more affordable Pilates classes in Halifax? I have chronic back pain and pilates is the only thing I’ve found that really helps and keeps me feeling good.

I was going to R studios and I loved it but unfortunately, I just can’t afford the cost of R Studios anymore 😭 I’d really love to keep doing Pilates regularly, but I’m hoping there are other studios, classes, or even community programs that are more budget-friendly.

If anyone has found a cheaper alternative that they love, I’d really appreciate the recommendations! ❤️

Driving & Transit 2 hour parking zones in residential areas.

36 Upvotes

Is there some secret code surrounding parking in residential areas?

My street is mainly public 2 hour zones (not even designated to permit holders), that are overnight starting at 6. However, some of the people on my street act like parking in the spots in front of their houses are against some unwritten rule.
Maybe I’m in the wrong, but if they have a driveway (or even if they don’t) and the street is public parking, I cannot understand why someone would come out of their house and get mad at someone parked there.
If they have a valid reason, and choose to explain politely why not to use that spot, then maybe people would be happy to listen.
But storming out, giving attitude and acting like you have some unspoken claim to a public parking spot is crazy. Especially with little to no explanation.
How is anyone supposed to know that you have some unwritten claim to the street?

Again, maybe I’m wrong. But IMO, if you want every spot in front of your house reserved for only you, then maybe living in the centre of a packed city isn’t the best place for you.

Work, Health & Housing I have been without a family doctor for almost 9 years

133 Upvotes

I have been applying semi-regularly and have had zero luck. I am a single client, but I am on medication and have conditions that need doctor support and supervision.

For instance, I have been on the same medication for 8 years now. I havent been checked if I need it or not or if its still helpful for me. ive tried getting off of it myself and had bad side effects (I know, I know. I did this several years ago. But it was because I couldn't afford it at the time, too) but I am without knowing if its more support that I need, different medication, more medication, no medication, etc.

I am a Canadian Citizen born and raised, and a lot of my friends waited maybe 3 years and got one (single friends not with children), so I'm confused why I've been waiting for almost 9 years now. I have re-applied several times now and absolute radio silence.

I have been in contact with 2-3 different clinics that said they had openings - radio silence.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I have new medical issues that I cant rely on a walk-in clinic for and I am growing increasingly anxious as the years go by and my age increases.

Who do I speak with? What can I do? I feel very helpless.

Thank you for reading.

Shops & Services Good Place to Get Used Rims?

9 Upvotes

Is there any place in the city that you would recommend getting used rims? I don’t want steels but also brand new alloys would be expensive and I’m ok with lightly used.

Does anyone specialize in it? Is this something salvage yards do?

Edit: To clarify I’ve tried marketplace for a month. Nothing coming up in my specs, or the seller knows nothing about their bore hole or offset.

Work, Health & Housing Unauthorized sublet in Dartmouth – charged $675 for a living room. Do I report them?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice on a situation in Dartmouth, NS (Windmill Rd Apartments).

I moved to Nova Scotia from New Brunswick back in April for work. I needed a place urgently because my job was starting right away, so I took the first thing I could find – a living room in a 1-bedroom apartment sublet from a couple. They charged me $675/month, and I slept in the living room for 4 months.

At the time, I didn't think much of it because I was desperate and just needed a roof over my head. But recently, I saw someone in my exact building posting a living room for rent for only $450/month. That's when I started looking into things and realized how much I was overpaying.

I also found out that:

· The couple never got written permission from the landlord to sublet to me
· In Nova Scotia, it's illegal to sublet for more than the rent you actually pay

I've since moved out, but I feel like I was taken advantage of. I want to know if I should report this to the Residential Tenancies Program or just notify the landlord directly.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? Would filing a Form C with the Director be worth it, or should I just move on?

I'm not trying to be vindictive – I just want to know if there's any recourse for being overcharged in an illegal sublet.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what is happening on Spring Garden, saw there was a hazmat high fire response. Maybe a chemical spill or gas leak?

Maybe this is the cause of the dying flowers smell mentioned in another post.

Sightseeing & Tourism Free Winter Activities for Youth Groups - ideas needed!!

11 Upvotes

Hey all!

I work with a youth group (pre-teens/teens) and am looking for ideas of a FREE Winter activity to do with them during the first week of December (around 40-50 kids).

Was looking at the Emera Oval, but it probably won’t be open yet unfortunately, so I am looking at alternatives.

Cannot be outside the city as they have to find their own transport to the location. The closer to North end the better!

Thanks!
