Warming hearts and throwing darts

Warming hearts and throwing darts

The Coast — On any given Friday night in Halifax, you'll find Emily Alford in the pub, going up against a group of 20-something guys in a game of darts. She asks if they'd like to play for a drink "of pop or something, of course," she says.

Forty percent of Halifax households are supposed to pay rent tomorrow

The Coast — Tomorrow, thousands of people in Halifax who rent the space they live in will have to pay their rent. But many who have lost income or job prospects because of COVID-19 are right stressed about how they're going to pay-especially those waiting for the $2,000 Canada Emergency Response Benefit to come online and start flowing (mid-April) or those who haven't been able to get through to file their EI application yet.

The Coast — Before Lisa Blackburn became deputy mayor of Halifax, she was elected as District 14 councillor on regional council.

The Coast — It's been two years since Vicky Levack has gone dancing-like proper dancing. DJ and lights and a hot outfit. On Saturday she dons a red dress, red lipstick to match. Diamond earrings and a black clutch and black lacey tights-seriously ready to hit the town.

The methadone method

The methadone method

The Coast — In 2014, John spent the Christmas holidays alone, curled up in a ball on his bed. He'd run through his monthly opioid prescription in the first 12 days of December-like he'd done every month for the last two years of his life-and had to wait until the new year before he could go back to the doctor for a refill.
