I had absolutely no complaints except I am tall so it would have been nice to have a little more knee room in the seats lol, but you know...tall people problems. This venue was about a block away from my hotel: Cambridge Suites Halifax, if you are looking for a place to stay for a concert or sporting event in the future.

The staff and security had ZERO interest in assisting and told my wife Holly Chrismas to "go figure it out ourselves" Who does this to a child???? This is beyond disgraceful!!! Halifax Mooseheads is this how you treat your fans??? Scotiabank Centre is this how you treat your customers???? Truly disgusting!!! Now a TEN YEAR OLD went from loving to absolutely hating the mooseheads, not to mention it is things like this that will make kids like her grow up with resentment and trust issues with the public! The staff actually rather than assist, gave my wife grief for not being seated!!!

Keep in mind, this review is 100% based on the skate sharpening service here, and not on the ice or…read moreice rental. Stopped in to the Centennial Arena Skate Sharpening service on Sunday and was a bit surprised, but in a good way. I haven't stopped in a while, but we were heading for the Oval for a skate and my skates were RUSTTTYYYY and not sharpened at all. i called around and most places were either super busy or a bit expensive for the time it takes to sharpen a skate ($10... why??) So I thought, why not stop in here. Firstly, service was great. The guy behind the counter was friendly and talkative, but didn't get distracted from the sharpening. Always good to keep it casual while keeping timeliness in mind. Now for the actual sharpening. Well, the skate sharpening here was a pleasant surprise. Located conveniently at the front door, I didn't have to go searching at all to find them. A nice little heated spot, he was able to get the job done in under 5 minutes and send me on my way. No waiting, no posturing, no anything. In and out. It's hard for me to argue with that! They did a good job, they were sharpened quickly, and they were just what I needed. AND, the real question... HOW MUCH DID IT COST!? Did they gouge me? Nope. At a great price of $5/pair, you just can't get a better deal! You have to pay cash, but it's worth it, without a doubt. Highly recommended if you're tired of waiting in long lines or dropping your skates of hours before they'd be ready, or if you want to pay half the price!

Real talk? I think the Alderney Landing Theatre and Round Room are two of the most underrated…read morespaces we've got in this city. Every time I pop up to swoon over the view, the lighting, and the layout, I sink deeper and deeper into a venue crush. Wheelchair accessible with safe and reliable elevators (worth pointing out considering some of the others in the city), the theatre space is on the upper level of Alderney, just above the farmer's market space. As you climb up, you get a gorgeous view of Halifax and the harbour through the all glass walls that only gets better once you reach your destination. Upstairs, the round as they call it is sizable and beautifully lit by the reflection off the harbour waters. All the glass makes the place feel even bigger than it is - kind of like an outdoor amphitheater...but, you know, inside. So, uh, a theatre. Nevermind. Bad comparison. While inside the theatre is comfortable for audiences and guests attending any number of community-driven performances throughout the year, I do find the stage strikes me as a bit small. I suspect that may be the only thing holding this space back from a booker's point of view. All the other pieces are in place to welcome bigger touring productions otherwise.

I went to Dalhousie for 1.5 years and studied Creative Writing. I went into a severe acute…read morepsychosis and had severe paranoid delusions during that time. My school made the decision to call the mobile crisis line to get peace officers to come and do wellness checks on me daily sometimes multiple times a day for multiple days. The police and peace officers were extremly well trained to do their jobs. They invited me to church with them and ensured my well being was good. They came with 8 peace officers and involuntarily took me against my will to the emergency room and forcefully medicated me. They sat by my side, fed me snacks and talked to me for over 12 hours until I was admitted to the emergency room. I finally given psych treatment that I needed for over 3 years. The police and peace officers that Dal contacted actually advocated for me to get a TON of resources including assisted living, a work program for people with disabilities, psych nurses to come to my home weekly to check in on me and unlimited food. I am forever grateful for their decision to contact the peace officers to involuntarily admitted me into the psych unit because multiple professionals refused to get me treatment in the past for years and I got brain damage because of it. I thank God everyday for this school getting me the treatment and resources that I needed to survive and reach my full potential. Sadly I had to leave school due to my acute psychosis and brain damage but I will be forever grateful for them advocating for me to get the resources that I needed to survive and thrive.

Many of the professors at Dalhousie are great, but the university as a whole is a complete scam…read more Administration cares so little for its professors and students that they are willing to jeopardize staff and student health and safety. My college, the school of health and human performance, on campus was falling apart and reeked of dead rats. My residence was filled with asbestos and I would hazard to guess that proper precautions were not taken during renovations. Please, please go elsewhere. Any scholarship they offer you is simply a ploy to take more courses. Don't fall for Dalhousie's garbage. If I could rate this less than 1 star, I would.

The professionals at the school did not take the time to talk to me and get to know me and isntead they labeled me as bullying my professors, expelled me and banned me from the property for life. They took away all forms of communication from me to prevent me from getting justice and told me I needed to hire a lawyer to talk to them while I was living in severe poverty. They never made sure that I got treatment from a peace officer for my acute psychosis and paranoid delusions so I stayed in my severe acute psychosis for over 3 years. Due to the length of time I went with my psychosis untreated I now have been diagnosed with severe brain damage and memory problems. They should have spent more time talk to me and getting to know my situation to ensure that they could have gotten me treatment from a peace officer and giving me involuntary treatment for my acute psychosis but their only goal was to maintain their reputation and sales so they didn't bother getting me treatment from a peace officer when they desperately should have done so. They ruined my transcripts with a false suspension and expulsion due to labeling my acute psychosis as breaking a rule and bullying my professors when it wasn't that at all and it has prevented me from getting into new schools and prevented me from getting a career. I demand that they remove my suspension and expulsion from my transcripts to ensure I can go to a new school across the country and get a career to be as successful as I can be. There was never a rule broken and they overlooked my acute psychosis while being very uneducated about how to get a peace officer to involuntarily give me treatment to prevent this from happening again to de escalate the situation. I demand justice and peace for myself and others in this situation. I demand that they reach out to me because they are ignoring me until I pay for a lawyer while living in severe poverty. My statute of limitations for legal actions would be extended about 3 years due to being in a psychosis for 3 years. They have threatened me with lawsuits with their lawyer as well which are baseless. I have NO FEARS and NOTHING else to loose from this school. I DEMAND JUSTICE IT'S BEEN OVER THREE YEARS.

I am a bingo fan and have my personal favourites and the Forum Bingo is one of them…read more I truly enjoy the atmosphere at this hall. The staff are friendly and really organized. One of the things I like is that the staff will carry a cart around and ask you if you would like a drink or a snack. It`s great because you may get thirsty but do not want to get up from your tables to grab a drink. The canteen food is pretty good. I got nachos and cheese and they were nice and tasty. I do find that I pay a few dollars more at this Bingo than I do at others. It`s always busy as well.

So I've been to bingo at the Forum twice now and both times, it's been A-OK. My first experience…read morewas at regular bingo and my most recent was for cosmic bingo. Of the two, I would definitely recommend cosmic bingo. It's just more fun - they have black lights, music and a more energetic vibe. Regular bingo definitely felt a lot like I feared bingo would be. People sitting staring at the cards and then you're done. There's food and drink (both alcohol and not). They even have the bingo hall separated into two sections: all-ages and 19+ so this really can be a fun night for anyone. Prices are pretty reasonable - I didn't know what to get either time so a friend suggested something and it came to about $11. You can probably same some money by getting a dabber at a dollar store. Bizarrely, "basic bingo" (as I understood it) never seems to be played there. By "basic bingo," I mean one line, in any direction. No it starts complicated and just gets more and more so. Tip #1: If you sit near the main entrance, expect to be wrapped in the warm embrace of cigarette smoke as people come and go for smoke breaks. Tip #2: If you've got bingo, make sure your winning number has been called aloud (not just displayed on the screen) or it doesn't count.

My little guy who is 3 yrs old was thrilled to try out every kind of "moving devices" that was suitable for him. Tricycles, bicycles with training wheels, balance bikes, scooters, etc. For the bigger people, they have rollerblades(in line skates), roller skates, skateboards, scooters, regular bikes, and a big tricycle with a basket(to put your pet in?) attached. My husband and I thought this was a good way to get the little guy to try some of these things before we actually pick one up in store. We were there on a nippy Sunday evening, an hour before it was closed. Not a single kid in sight. I imagine on a warm weekend, it would be a different situation. We had a good time.

I spend summer days (usually into the summer evenings) at the oval skating around and around to my own beats or the great music they play over the loud speaker. It's a great place to have some good old fashioned fun.
