They should be reminded on a regular basis everything is donated to them. I will never step foot in a Valu Village store again. don't get me started on the high prices they stick on the donated items.

So many judges out there, searching for every reason to be dissatisfied with anything, and anyone now days. Instead of complaining, we should all make an effort to look for the good in this very broken world that we live in. We in North America are beyond spoiled rotten and have NO idea what it is to live without food and clean water, clean air to breathe, to live without the basic necessities of life. So, the next time we want to complain, maybe we should all take inventory of our own short comings for we ALL have them, nobody is perfect in any way, shape or form. Let us all be kind and appreciate what we have. A reminder - we are still a country without war. We still have a Value Village; be thankful. :)

I first attended the Youth Project as an in-the-closet teen. Through a hilarious (in retrospect)…read moremix-up, I had my mom drive me 30 minutes to Halifax, lied about why she was driving me to Halifax, asked her to kill two hours of her precious time and not ask too many questions because "God, Mom!" all to discover I'd arrived on the wrong night for the boys' group. The Youth Project helped me connect with other kids my own age who understood what I was going through. The advice and assistance of those a few years older than me made the transition of coming out and living out much easier. I recently had the good fortune to visit the Youth Project as an adult and they are still offering great support and services to LGBTQ* kids.

Recently, after donating a bag of Christmas items and children's toys, I tried to use a 20% discount coupon. My purchase totaled $19.97, but I was denied the discount because it was not exactly $20. The supervisor refused to round it up, even though pennies are no longer used in Canada. For a store that relies on community donations, choosing two cents over customer goodwill is disappointing.

Not only are the drink super cheap and flowing fast and furious the dance floor is on fire. Friday night was Karaoke night which was really fun.

The Royal Canadian Legion is located right across from the post office…read more Anyone who knows the Legion's knows that there are a lot of stories and lets say, not all the truth, over many a beer here. It is a place where you can only go if you are a member. You have to have served in one of the services or be a able to prove you are a spouse or child etc. The rules are very long and I would suggest going to the site to have a look. The Legions are know for their Levey's at Christmas. It is the one time of year that beer is free and you can usually get it without being a member. Levey's are fun, we use to do a circuit of them. The Legion is a place that serves its regulars and is a great place for our Vets to go and be appreciated.

Multiple workers complained about being underpaid and being poorly treated by management. I recently had a bad experience prompting me to voice my concern. I was outside the front door where a lady was yelling and screaming. She was smoking a pipe. Employees just stood by. The fact that this is just so normal to everyone there scares me. I am 78 years old. I will not be returning. Buyer beware!

This thrift store has the friendliest staff - they seem to genuinely be happy to be there and eager…read moreto chat to you. It makes a big difference when you're looking through the racks to have a friendly face telling you about the deals rather than feeling like you're in the way, which I've experienced at other thrift stores in the past. There are two floors to this shop - today the second floor was wedding themed, which was amazing. There were also formal dresses, jewellery, handbags and suits on display upstairs - anything you might need if you were going to or planning a wedding. It was fun poking through the wedding dresses and seeing right in front of you how much styles have changed throughout the decades! Downstairs there is a "front" that has racks of clothing and some jewellery and in the back, you'll find some homewares and yet even more clothing. Shoes, winter coats, and kids clothes are back there. The prices at Hand in Hand are amazing!! You won't find any almost-full-price goods here. If the item wasn't priced it was $4, and Friday's are student discount days! (Good to know!) We found an amazing hot pink pineapple print dress...definitely not for me, but one of our friends was so excited to be getting it. This is the kind of thrift store I enjoy being in - it really feels like you could find rare treasures here if you just had enough time.
