Re: Info on the job market in Halifax please
Forgive me but the last time I visited Aberdeen I had to leave within the hour as a felt an overwhelming suicidal depression. Fun place.
Give me Halifax any day.

Re: Info on the job market in Halifax please
Where are the nicest areas to buy a house? All of the suburbs look nice but are there any which are more popular with newcomers that have nice pubs and restaurants without having to drive miles. Again, any info most welcome.

Re: Info on the job market in Halifax please
We spent months researching and visiting various areas in HRM and ended up building a property in Fall River. Its ideally placed for access to both Halifax and Dartmouth and only about 20 mins to downtown. Lots are big and there are plenty of Brits settling there. If you need any other info let me know.
