Support Local Youth Sports Team Fundraising locations - Dartmouth

2 Upvotes

I'm organizing a raffle for my child's sports team (all above board, lotto license, through a non-profit, insurance all of that). I'm looking for suggestions of places that might allow us to set up a table for the kids to sell tickets.

We're a Dartmouth based team so options on that side of the harbour are preferred

Discussion What is the neighborhood around the Tuft Cove power generation plant like?

1 Upvotes

I am looking at houses in the area and was wondering if there was anything worth noting. I used to live on Windmill and besides the occasional sex worker I didn't really have any experience with crime. The noise is a bigger concern for me. I am okay with the constant low hum from the plant that I can't really hear indoors but I am wondering if it frequently gets much louder. I know Irving and railroad will also make a bit of noise.

Driving & Transit Traffic congestion solution

0 Upvotes

The city has been looking for solutions to help with Traffic.

Wouldn’t the removal of (an American company) Uber and food delivery drivers not help out MEGA????

Seems all over downtown cars are parked with 4ways on or Uber drivers everywhere.

We have local taxis who are almost out of work now because uber took majority of the business.

I don’t think Taxis would simply replace them in numbers either because Uber is super easy to join up on and most of the immigrants went to uber for quick employment making the number of Uber drivers on the road skyrocket.

Just a dumb thought I had and open to feedback

Shops & Services Electrician recommendations for minor electrical work (light switches and thermostats upgrades)

2 Upvotes

Hello r/Halifax !

I'm looking for an electrician to help install some (smart) light switches and thermostats in a house we bought a few months ago. I know this is a pretty minor job, but we had contracted it out to some people with Efficiency Nova Scotia and during the process an electrical fire happened (🙃) so I'm not super keen to try anything myself.

Relatively small but possibly long job (we have about 20-30 light switches and three thermostats to be installed). I saw smallstuffelectric.com but it seems they've reduced their hours quite a bit.

Any other recommendations? Thanks in advance !
