So I have a friend that just got a job offer in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and was wondering if anyone on here had any insight into the area. My friend got the offer but has never been to Nova Scotia and asked if I knew anyone from there. Figured someone on here could give a bit of info on the area.

Thanks,
Anthony

I go hunting in Truro it’s very beautiful along the coast and people in the area are always friendly. I don’t know anything about living there other than gas is expensive and high taxes on everything.


The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

Start with the important aspects, how are the women?

Nova Scotia means New Scotland.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have a guy at work from there. He loves it and cant wait to get back. There's not much work compared to the opportunities here.

He's always bragging about the quality and low price of seafood. Soeething about the tide goes out and people just walk around collecting food and sell them at "garage sales".

He did get stuck there for over a month this past winter. He flew into Bangor Maine and rented a car to drive home. I guess a ticket straight there is triple. Anyways....some storm came through and the roads stayed closed for weeks and coulsnt leave the area.

I'm from the SouthShore of Nova Scotia, Most of the women around here are built like Hereford cattle....heavy, and low to the ground...lol

Halifax/Dartmouth seems to be a pretty booming spot the last few years.... life here is good overall

Hard to explain Nova Scotia to people. I live on Cape Breton Island and it’s kind of like going back in time a bit. Everything slows down here. Dartmouth might be a little more hectic but if you don’t live right in the city it’s not bad

Nova Scotia,
Beautiful scenery everywhere, lots of coastline, lots of hunting and fishing opportunities, and NS is known for its friendly people.....
Hard for me to tell you any more unless you ask specific questions

I’ll ask a specific.
What’s the coastal duck hunting like?
Is it a popular thing there? Outfitters or DIY hunts? And what would be the best time of the year?
Thanks

Getting a better idea of what it is like. I've talked to a couple of US citizens that worked up there for a bit and loved it. They have now switched coasts and are in BC.

What is the average income in the Dartmouth area? Any idea what rent would be for a decent place to live?

Not politically correct but some kind of funny. Thanks for the good chuckle. Nearly spit my coffee out!
