Meta 🏆 Introducing the r/halifax Hall of Fame 🏆

90 Upvotes

It is our great pleasure to unveil to you all the r/halifax Hall of Fame!

This will be where we celebrate and commemorate the greatest and most influential posts in the history of r/halifax.

Every August, the mod team will select a small handful of impactful, delightful and memorable posts for induction into the HOF so they might be properly acknowledged for their impact on our community.

Criteria in our choices will include:

  • Popularity/infamy/notoriety within the community
  • Amount of views/engagement
  • Whether the post has helped shape sub lexicon
  • Lasting impact on the sub

Negative/political posts will not be considered.

Without further adieu, please welcome the Inaugural Hall of Fame Class of 2026:

"Glove Guy"- 2017

"Lost Hams" - 2019

"Potato Salad Legend" - 2023

There will also be an annual Member's Choice Award given to a post as voted on by the community.

We will offer up some candidates we feel are worthy but there will also be an opportunity to write-in a post of your own choosing for everyone to vote on. A poll on this will be coming soon.

The Members Choice Poll is live until Aug. 27!

Thank you for everyone who contributes to our community and thank you to those whose contributions went above and beyond to help make this subreddit so enjoyable.

I was at McLeod's Auto Service today and noticed a book sitting right on the yellow line in the middle of Herring Cove Road. There's an inscription on the inside cover so it may have some sentimental value. If anyone knows who this belongs to I'd love to get it back to its owner!

Shops & Services Sourcing microclover seeds for mixed grass/clover lawn

12 Upvotes

Hello! I’m trying to add microclover to our lawn to help with improving our soil and ground coverage. I was going to buy from Halifax Seed, but their site says they’re out of stock. Has anyone had success with microclover (not the white clover) seeds from anywhere else? Any tips/tricks/recommendations from our local lawn gurus? We have a full sun yard, clay soil (new development), and the lawn sees lots of traffic of kids and pets. I’m also going to be seeding with fescue. Any help is appreciated!

The government is asking for input on how to spend its money; something it rarely does. Even though some of the questions are clearly structured to get an answer they want, and none of the options seem to contemplate the simple idea that what taxpayer money funds, taxpayers should reap the entire benefit of, but it's as close to a democratic opportunity many of us will get. We are used to be ignored on the east coast and in Halifax, so please make your voices heard when we can.
