What this site is

HFX.today gathers publicly available Halifax information — news, events, jobs, transit, waste collection, weather, deals and city services — into one place and links you back to the original source.

We are a signpost, not the authority. For anything that actually matters — a bus you need to catch, a bin you need to put out, a job deadline, a legal right — go to the official source we link to and confirm it there.

Accuracy, and its limits

We work hard to keep this site accurate and we remove things we know to be stale. But information changes constantly and without warning. Bus routes change. Events get cancelled. Deals expire. Job postings close.

We therefore make no warranty that any information here is current, complete or error-free. Where a page shows a typical pattern rather than live data, it says so plainly — we do not dress an estimate up as a live feed.

Found something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

External links

HFX.today links out to many independent third-party websites (government pages, venues, publishers, businesses and services). We do not control these sites, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, or how they handle your data. Once you leave HFX.today, that site's own terms and privacy policy apply, not ours.

Links can change or break without notice as other organisations reorganise or retire their pages. Where a direct page is unstable or has moved, we may instead point you to a map or a search for the place or topic so you still reach the right destination. If you find a link that is broken or wrong, please let us know and we will fix it.

Trademarks and third-party names

Business names, product names, logos and trademarks that appear on this site belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify and refer you to those places, services and events — this is descriptive use and does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners, in either direction.

Rentals, jobs and deals — read this carefully

Listings point to third-party sources. We do not verify individual landlords, employers or businesses, and a link here is not a recommendation or a vouch.

• Never send money for a rental you have not seen in person. Rental scams are common in Halifax and specifically target newcomers and students.
• Never send payment, banking details or ID documents to secure a job. Legitimate employers do not ask for this.
• Confirm any deal directly with the business before travelling for it.

Any transaction you enter into with a third party is entirely between you and them.

Not professional advice

Nothing here is legal, financial, medical or immigration advice. The newcomer guide and similar content is general information only. For advice about your own situation, speak to a qualified professional.

Submissions

If you submit an event, deal, rental or business listing, you confirm you have the right to share that information and that it is accurate. We may edit, decline or remove any submission — particularly anything misleading, discriminatory or unlawful.

Emergencies

In a real emergency, call 911. Do not rely on this website. Emergency information here is provided for convenience and may not be current.

Liability

HFX.today is provided free of charge, "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or your reliance on information found here.

Copyright

Content produced by HFX.today — our own writing, layout, and design — belongs to HFX.today and may not be copied or republished for commercial use without permission. News headlines, job postings and similar third-party content remain the property of their original publishers, are shown only as short excerpts with attribution, and always link back to the source.

Data sources and attribution

Some information on this site comes from open and third-party data providers, used under their respective licences:

• Weather — from MET Norway (Locationforecast, licensed CC-BY 4.0 / NLOD) with Environment and Climate Change Canada (Open Government Licence – Canada) as a fallback. Both permit commercial use with attribution.
• Transit, parking and waste data — from Halifax Regional Municipality Open Data, used under its open data licence.
• News — headlines and short summaries from publishers' public RSS feeds, each linking back to the original article.

These providers are the source of that data and are not affiliated with HFX.today. We acknowledge and thank them.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Nova Scotia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
