*(Report Date: September 4, 2025 – covering past month and next 30 days)

Local Events (Festivals & Gatherings)

• Keloose Festival (Aug 22–24, Windsor Junction/Fall River): The annual Keloose weekend drew great crowds under sunny skies thelaker.ca. Festivities included a kids’ parade from the Fall River School of Performing Arts to the Windsor Junction Community Centre, followed by kids’ fun day with a dunk tank, bouncy castles, face painting, pony rides and more. Food trucks and live music entertained families, and the festival wrapped up with a fireworks show on Sunday night.

• Waverley Gold Rush Days (mid-Sept, Waverley): This beloved community festival is coming up in the second week of September. Organized by local volunteers and the Waverley Community Association, Gold Rush Days features events like a crib tournament, bingo, family fun day on the Village Green, and the ever-popular Klondike Night at the legion. The festivities culminate with an outdoor concert and a fireworks display lighting up the sky over Waverley. (Mark your calendars for September 10–14, 2025 for this year’s lineup.)

• Other Ongoing Events: Nearby communities continue with seasonal gatherings – for example, local weekly farmers’ markets and outdoor movie nights have been wrapping up as summer ends. Many residents are also gearing up for the annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 14 (the 45th anniversary run), with participants from Fall River and area planning to join in the cancer research fundraiser.

Community & Lifestyle (Schools, Non-Profits, Neighborhood)

• Back-to-School & Child Care: The new school year is underway, and parents have some good news – Nova Scotia is expanding its Before and After School Program to 21 more schools province-wide this fall, creating over 1,200 new child-care spaces for 2025–26 thelaker.ca. This means more convenient on-site before/after school care for families (in addition to HRCE’s EXCEL program), helping ease childcare needs for many working parents.

• Miracle Treat Day in Fall River: On August 14, Dairy Queen Fall River hosted a massively successful Miracle Treat Day. Hundreds of locals lined up to meet NHL star Brad Marchand, who made a special appearance that day thelaker.ca. Thanks to the community support (and many Blizzards sold!), the Fall River DQ raised and donated almost $7,000 to the IWK Children’s Hospital thelaker.ca – by far the location’s best-ever Miracle Treat Day results.

• Grand Lake-Oakfield Community BBQ: The Grand Lake Oakfield Community Society recently held a neighborhood BBQ social, which saw a fantastic turnout. Residents got a chance to chat with the community’s volunteer board members and even meet local firefighters in a relaxed setting grandlakeoakfield.ca. It was a heartwarming example of small-town community spirit, with families and neighbors connecting over food and fun.

• Charity & Fundraisers: Community members continue to support good causes. In late August, a local group organized a fundraising barbecue in Lower Sackville to help a young Beaver Bank girl (Isla R.) in her battle with cancer thelaker.ca. Closer to home, service clubs like the Fall River & Riverlake Lions Club remain active – their weekly charity Wing Night fundraisers help finance donations (such as medical equipment for Cobequid Health Centre) and other community projects, demonstrating the strong culture of giving back.

Business Openings & Closures

• New Wellness Studio: A new health and fitness business has opened in Fall River. My Own Path Health & Wellness held its grand opening on March 15 at 1423 Fall River Road thelaker.ca. Owned by a local entrepreneur, the studio offers group training classes (including yoga – even “anti-gravity” aerial yoga) along with a coffee/smoothie bar and a selection of Canadian-made supplements. They even offer free fitness programs for veterans by appointment, aiming to build a healthy community hub.

• BBQ Eatery Returns: Good news for BBQ lovers – Smooth’s BBQ & Smokehouse is back in Fall River. After a winter hiatus, the popular southern-style barbecue spot relaunched earlier this year at its Highway 2 location (with a grand opening event in mid-March). Residents have been flocking for pulled pork, brisket, and ribs once again, and Smooth’s weekly curbside service has resumed to satisfy those comfort food cravings.

• Boutique Closing: On a bittersweet note, Lil’ Peeps Boutique, a local children’s consignment clothing store, announced it is closing after five years in business. The owner cited personal time constraints and made the tough decision to wind down operations this summer smallandlocal.ca. A closing-out sale was held the weekend of June 23 to clear remaining inventory smallandlocal.ca. The community thanked Lil’ Peeps for its years of providing affordable kids’ clothes and wished the owner well on her next chapter.

• Other Business News: No major retail closures or openings were noted in the past month for Fall River’s shopping hubs. Most local restaurants, cafes, and shops are transitioning into autumn with seasonal offerings (look out for pumpkin spice and fall flavours at our coffee shops!). One highlight: the Fourth Lock Bed & Breakfast in Fall River is adding a new outdoor terrace, expected to open soon – just in time for guests to enjoy the fall foliage by Lake Thomas.

Government & Policy Updates

• Water Service for Schwarzwald: Progress is being made toward addressing long-standing well-water issues in the Schwarzwald subdivision. Halifax Regional Council has approved funding for a feasibility study on extending municipal water service to the Schwarzwald area of Fall River thelaker.ca. The study (budgeted at $50,000) will analyze costs and options to expand the Water Service Boundary down Highway 2 to include Schwarzwald This comes after reports showed significant groundwater quantity/quality problems in Schwarzwald, and any extension would require a Regional Subdivision By-law amendment. The analysis is underway – once completed, staff will report back to Council with results, which could pave the way for a detailed engineering plan if council decides to proceed. Safe, reliable water supply remains a top policy priority for this community.

• Municipal Election Aftermath: Fall River’s municipal representation remained steady after last year’s election. Councillor Cathy Deagle Gammon (District 1 – Waverley-Fall River-Musquodoboit Valley) was re-elected in October 2024 and continues to focus on local improvements. In recent council sessions, she has advocated for infrastructure upgrades like the water extension and monitored the Aerotech Connector project. (Fun fact: District 1’s councillor is one of a record number of women on Halifax Regional Council.) There are no new policy ordinances specific to Fall River passed in the last month, but Councillor Deagle Gammon’s office is gearing up for community consultation on upcoming HRM budget priorities – residents can expect outreach on that in coming weeks.

• Provincial Initiatives: Provincially, the government announced investments in affordable housing projects across HRM in late July thelaker.ca, although those were focused on Dartmouth/Cole Harbour. Closer to our area, MLA Brian Wong (Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank) joined Public Works Minister Fred Tilley on August 21 to officially open the new Aerotech Connector road in Wellington news.novascotia.ca. The province is also implementing new workplace harassment regulations effective September 1, aimed at safer work places thelaker.ca – something all local employers and community organizations are taking note of.

Development & Infrastructure

• Aerotech Connector Highway Opens: A major new piece of infrastructure is now in place just outside Fall River. The Aerotech Connector, a 5-kilometre connector highway linking Trunk 2 in Wellington to Highway 102 at Exit 5A, was scheduled to opened to traffic in late August, but there have been delays and my source says there is no concrete date yet but will funnel the good news and I will update the blog - news.novascotia.ca. This $70 million project includes two new roundabouts – one where the connector meets Highway 102, and another at the intersection of Trunk 2 and Sunnylea Road in Wellington news.novascotia.ca. The road provides a much-needed alternate route to the airport and Aerotech Business Park, aiming to reduce traffic on Hwy 2 through Fall River and improve commute safety for local drivers. Early reports from residents are positive, noting a quicker trip to the airport and less congestion through the village.

• New Housing Developments: Some residential growth is on the horizon. Halifax’s North West Community Council has approved a development agreement to enable a 12-unit townhouse project on vacant land just off Highway 2 in Fall River. The plan will retain one existing house and add three small clusters of townhomes (3–5 units each) on a new private lane near civic #3124–3136 Hwy 2. This project, aligned with the River-Lakes Secondary Planning Strategy, will add gentle density while keeping with community character. Meanwhile, an earlier proposal for a seniors’ complex at the Carr Farm site (near Fall River Village) has been scaled down and is undergoing review – residents will be consulted once revised plans are ready.

• Roads and Amenities: Regular summer road maintenance is wrapping up. Paving work along Fall River Roadand Lockview Road was completed in August, smoothing out those bumpy sections (to commuters’ delight). The Halifax Water Commission reports all hydrants in Fall River and Waverley were flushed and tested over the summer. In parks, the Third Lake beach at Windsor Junction had a brief closure in late August due to a reported blue-green algae bloom (out of caution), but has since re-opened after tests deemed the water safe. Looking ahead, community groups are lobbying for new crosswalks on Highway 2 near Sobeys and near the Sobey’s gas bar to improve pedestrian safety – HRM traffic authority is expected to study those crossings this fall.

Historical/Recent Recap (Past Month Highlights)

August 2025 was an active month in the Fall River area. The community came together for major events like Keloose 2025, which brought families out in droves for summer. We also saw acts of community kindness – from a local resident stepping up after a volunteer group’s equipment was stolen, to the Dairy Queen fundraiser that drew Brad Marchand and smashed fundraising. In local sports, some hometown pride: Fall River’s own Alexis Fanok made headlines by hauling in eight gold medals at the national canoe/kayak championships, and a girls’ youth baseball team (the Rangers U17) captured a provincial title. On the civic front, August saw the Aerotech Connector road completed and officially open, marking the end of a multi-year project just in time for fall. All in all, the past month’s highlights showcased the vibrancy and generosity of our community – from festivals and sports wins to infrastructure improvements and charitable endeavors. It’s clear that Fall River and its surrounding neighbourhoods had a summer to remember.

Upcoming Highlights (Next 30 Days)

Looking ahead to September (and early October) 2025, there’s plenty on the community calendar:

• Waverley Gold Rush Days (Sept 10–14): Don’t miss this week-long celebration of Waverley’s heritage and community spirit. Whether you’re trying your luck at Klondike Night, enjoying live music and food trucks on the Village Green, or watching the fireworks finale, Gold Rush Days promise fun for all ages. Schedules are posted on the Waverley Gold Rush Facebook group – most events are family-friendly and low-cost (some fundraising proceeds go to local causes).

• Fall Community Clean-Up: Late September will bring a volunteer community clean-up day (date TBA, likely Sep 23) organized by local residents and the Lakeview/Windsor Junction/Fall River Ratepayers Association. Neighbors will gather to pick up litter along our roadsides and lakefronts as we prepare for autumn. Supplies and gloves will be provided – a great chance to get involved and keep our area beautiful.

• Municipal Meetings: On the civic front, Halifax’s North West Community Council meets on September 14 and again in early October. Agenda items expected include local planning updates (any development proposals or rezoning in our area will be discussed) and follow-ups on traffic concerns. Residents can attend or watch the webcast for issues like the Fall River crosswalk study or Schwarzwald water report status. Additionally, Halifax Regional Council’s next session on Sept 19 may touch on region-wide initiatives that affect us (e.g. adjustments to property tax rates or recreation funding).

• Recreation & Sports: The Fall River Dragons hockey teams kick off their preseason training this month at the Sackville Sports Stadium and LeBrun Arena – keep an eye out for their bottle drive fundraiser around the neighbourhood. For golf enthusiasts, Oakfield Golf & Country Club is hosting a charity tournament on Sept 20 in support of community mental health programs. And as the leaves start to turn, locals will have the chance to enjoy guided fall foliage hikes in Shubie Park (every Saturday in late September) – a perfect way to appreciate nature’s beauty close to home.

If you know of other events or news in the community, feel free to share – this synopsis can be updated. In the meantime, enjoy the final weeks of summer and the coming fall activities in our wonderful Fall River area!

Hey there! I'm Johnny Dulong, your Family Real Estate Advisor, and I love sharing cool spots in Halifax. If you ever get the chance to visit, these places are worth it.

Discover the Best Things to Do in Halifax: A Local’s Guide

What are the must-see attractions when visiting Halifax?

The Halifax Waterfront, Citadel Hill, and Peggy's Cove each offer a unique window into the charm, history, and coastal beauty that define Nova Scotia’s capital. If you’re planning your visit—or even if you’re local—it’s time to rediscover these icons.

Stroll the Halifax Waterfront

You’ll find the pulse of Halifax along its bustling boardwalk. The waterfront is more than a scenic stroll—it's where local culture, dining, and entertainment converge.

• Grab a cone from one of the seasonal gelato carts

• Browse artisan shops and pop-up markets

• Relax beside public art installations and shipyard views

Spanning over 4 kilometers, the Halifax boardwalk is one of the longest continuous waterfront boardwalks in Canada. Originally a working port, it has transformed into a lively public space that draws both locals and tourists year-round. With its blend of historic properties, modern attractions, and an unbeatable harbor view, the boardwalk perfectly reflects Halifax’s coastal charm.

Whether you’re catching a live performance or hopping on a harbor tour, this spot never disappoints. And don’t forget your camera—the photo ops are nonstop.

Step Back in Time at Citadel Hill

Just a short walk uphill from the waterfront is Citadel Hill, home to the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. With its star-shaped fortress and iconic clock tower, this landmark is a favorite for both history buffs and anyone who loves a panoramic view.

The Citadel has watched over Halifax since 1749, built by the British military to defend one of the most important naval bases in the North Atlantic. Its strategic position atop the hill made it a vital outpost through numerous global conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to World War I. Today, costumed interpreters and re-enactments bring this military history to life, offering a glimpse into what daily life was like for soldiers stationed here.

Explore military exhibits, watch the daily firing of the Noon Gun, or simply enjoy a peaceful walk around the green slopes. It’s a Halifax tradition that connects you directly to the city’s roots.

Visit the Timeless Peggy's Cove

Peggy’s Cove is postcard-perfect—rugged rocks, crashing waves, and a lighthouse so iconic it’s etched into Canadian identity. Located just under an hour from downtown Halifax, it’s worth the drive any time of year.

Climb the granite outcrops (with caution!), soak in the Atlantic breeze, and explore the tiny fishing village with its quaint shops and maritime charm.

This historic fishing village dates back to 1811 when it was founded by six German families. The origin of the name "Peggy" is still debated—some believe it’s named after Saint Margaret’s Bay, while others say it's tied to a local legend about a shipwreck survivor named Peggy. Either way, its lighthouse, built in 1915, remains one of the most photographed spots in all of Canada.

If there’s one stop that’ll make your visit unforgettable, this is it.

See Your City Like a Local

Halifax is rich with experiences—from the harbor’s edge to the rolling hills and rocky shores. If you're new in town or just looking for something fresh to explore, these three attractions offer the perfect mix of beauty, history, and inspiration.

Buying a first home is a big step, especially for first-time buyers in Halifax and the surrounding areas. The housing market can feel overwhelming with high prices and increasing interest rates. Luckily, there are programs to help them save money on down payments. These programs make achieving the goal of homeownership more manageable and less stressful.

---

## Challenges in the Housing Market 🏠

Many people looking to buy their first home in Halifax face difficulties due to rising home prices and limited inventory. Recent statistics show that the availability of homes for sale has decreased by 10% compared to last year. This tight market makes it harder for first-time buyers to find affordable options.

This trend especially affects young professionals who are moving from renting to owning. The increase in demand for homes leads to competitive bidding, driving prices even higher. As a result, saving enough money for a down payment becomes a challenge for many.

---

## Impact on First-Time Home Buyers 👫

The current market conditions mean first-time buyers might find it tough to secure a home within their budget. With the prices rising and limited options, they may feel discouraged. However, there is hope. By knowing about various provincial and federal programs, these buyers can navigate the market more effectively.

For instance, government programs can reduce the financial burden, making it easier for buyers to enter the market. Understanding these options can help them stay ahead in the competitive market.

---

## Programs to Consider  💹

### 1. First Home Savings Account 🏘️

Federal First Home Savings Account (FHSA) This new program lets you save up to $40,000 for a down payment. Money goes in tax-free and comes out tax-free when you’re ready to buy.

Why It Helps: You save more without paying taxes on your savings, which means you can get your home sooner.

### 2. Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP) 🏡

The HBP allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $35,000 from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to buy or build a home. It’s a great way to boost the down payment amount, and the borrowed amount should be paid back over 15 years.

### 3. Nova Scotia’s Down Payment Assistance Program 🛎️

For those in Nova Scotia, this program provides an interest-free loan to help with down payments. First-time buyers can borrow up to 5% of the home’s purchase price, with repayment starting at the beginning of the second year.

### 4. Land Transfer Tax Rebate 💲

In Canada, buying property often involves paying a land transfer tax. In Nova Scotia, first-time buyers can apply for a rebate to minimize this cost. This rebate eases financial pressure, allowing buyers to save money during the home-buying process.

### 5. Federal Home Accessibility Tax Credit 🤑

Although not strictly for first-time buyers, this credit assists people making their new home more accessible. Buyers investing in renovations to aid accessibility can benefit from significant tax savings.

---

## Making the Most of the Programs

### Research and Planning 📚

Understanding the requirements and benefits of each program is key. Buyers should take time to research and figure out which programs apply to their situation.

### Consult with a Professional 👨🏻‍🏫

Getting advice from real estate professionals can guide buyers to make informed decisions. They have insights into which programs are available and how each one can help in the buying process.

### Start Early ⏰

With these programs on their radar, first-time buyers should start the planning and application process early. This preparation ensures they meet the necessary criteria and deadlines.

---

## Future Considerations 🌅

First-time buyers must also keep an eye on future trends that may affect the housing market. Here are some things to consider:

- Interest Rate Changes: If rates go up, monthly payments could rise, making it crucial to lock in a low rate now.

- Policy Changes: Government policies can shift, so staying informed about any updates or new programs is important.

- Market Conditions: While the current market is tight, changes might occur, leading to more housing availability and stabilizing costs.

Having a forward-thinking approach can help buyers make strategic moves that benefit them in the long run. Staying flexible allows them to adapt to changes and remain optimistic about their home-buying journey.

---

## Conclusion 🎬

Buying a first home can be daunting, but with the right information and support, first-time buyers in Halifax have various options to help them succeed. The financial programs available make homeownership accessible and more affordable. By taking advantage of these resources, buyers can turn their dreams of owning a home into reality.

Preparedness and awareness of these opportunities pave the way for a smooth transition from renting to owning a home. As young professionals and families embark on this significant journey, they can do so with confidence, knowing support is available to help them reach their goals.

What small fixes can make a big difference in listing photos and buyer appeal?

Getting your home ready for photos doesn't have to be overwhelming. Focus on these nine fixes that buyers notice—and capture in how they feel when they first browse your listing.

9 Quick Fixes That Pay Off in Listing Photos

1. Replace burned‑out light bulbs. A well‑lit space reads larger and more welcoming—dark spots stand out in photos.

2. Fix squeaky hinges, sticky doors, and leaky faucets. These minor annoyances suggest neglect and may raise red flags for buyers.

3. Touch up scuffed trim or chipped paint. Fresh trim and neutral tones convey cleanliness and care. Bright or worn paint can turn buyers off.

4. Ensure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors work. Buyers notice safety‑related systems—these should be clearly functional.

5. Clear clutter—even small areas count. Tidy counters, remove magnets from the fridge, and depersonalize spaces so buyers can envision themselves there.

6. Sweep porches, tidy entryways, and trim landscaping. Curb appeal is powerful—small upgrades boost listing photos and perceived value.

7. Remove vehicles and garbage bins from driveways. Open, clean exteriors help create inviting first

8. Test faucets, ensure toilets flush, and fans are off. Buyers notice functional flaws quickly—clean, silent spaces photograph better.

9. Make all beds and open curtains for natural light. Bright, tidy rooms feel spacious and inviting—key for making a positive online first impression Why These Fixes Matter.

These small improvements go a long way in your listing’s visual narrative. Photos shape a buyer’s first impression and often influence their decision to book a showing. In online real estate, first impressions truly matter.

Final Takeaway

Before the photographer arrives, run through this quick fix checklist. It’s about enhancing appeal, avoiding red flags, and making every room look its best in photos—with minimal effort and cost.

What does a rise in housing inventory mean for pricing in Halifax this fall?

As we head into September, more listings are hitting the market in Halifax—and that shift carries important pricing implications for both buyers and sellers.

More Homes = More Leverage for Buyers

Inventory levels are up across HRM. For buyers, this means:

• Less pressure to make snap decisions

• More negotiating power

• A better chance of avoiding bidding wars

The fall market is showing early signs of balance—fewer homes selling in hours, and more room for buyers to be thoughtful with their offers.

Sellers: Pricing Strategically Matters More Than Ever

If you're listing your home this fall:

• Accurate pricing is key. Overpriced listings are now sitting longer.

• Presentation counts. Staged, well-maintained homes still move quickly.

• Flexibility pays off. Be open to adjustments as buyer preferences shift.

Rising inventory doesn't mean a market crash—it means the days of automatic multiple offers may be behind us (for now). Sellers who adapt will still succeed.

Quick September Snapshot

Final Takeaway

The Halifax fall market is shifting gears. With more listings available, buyers gain time and choice, while sellers need smart pricing and great marketing to stand out.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or trying to time both—this is the moment for expert strategy.

Should you sell your current home before purchasing a new one in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM)?

You’re not the only one asking this question—especially in today’s market. Selling first can give you a stronger financial position, more negotiating power, and greater peace of mind in HRM’s competitive real estate landscape. Let’s break down why that matters for you.

You’re in Control: Timing the Market in Halifax

The Halifax market continues to favour sellers, with prices rising and inventory remaining tight.

As of mid-2025:

• Average sale prices are up approximately 7% year-over-year.

• Homes are selling in roughly 20 days—down from 30+ days last year.

• Buyer demand remains strong in key areas like Bedford, Clayton Park, and the West End.

If you’re considering a move, this could be the perfect time to list your current home before buying the next.

Why Selling First Makes Financial Sense

1. You Free Up Equity for Your Next Home

Selling your home first lets you access the equity you've built—especially if you're selling in high-demand neighbourhoods. That equity can be used toward a larger down payment, which improves your buying power and may reduce your financing costs.

2. You Avoid the Pressure of Contingencies

Offers that depend on selling your current home can be risky in competitive situations. By selling first, you’re ready to make clean offers and move quickly when you find the right property.

3. You Can Price Strategically—Not Emotionally

Trying to juggle two deals at once often leads to rushed decisions. Selling first lets you price based on the market, not your timeline. That means better offers, less stress, and a smoother experience.

But What If You Buy First?

There are valid reasons you might consider buying before you sell—especially if:

• You’ve found a rare property and don’t want to risk losing it.

• You can financially carry two properties for a short time.

• You’re open to bridge financing or rent-back options.

That said, this approach works best when you’ve got a rock-solid plan—and a REALTOR® who knows how to protect your interests every step of the way.

So, Should You Sell First in HRM?

If you want more control, less risk, and a stronger financial position, selling first is often the smart move—especially in today’s Real Estate Halifax market.

As your local Halifax REALTOR®, I can help you weigh the pros and cons, time your move strategically, and navigate every step with confidence—whether you're in Halifax, Bedford, or anywhere in between.
