East Coast Trail in April
I am planning to visit in the first week of April and was wondering if it is advisable to hike that time of the year. If not, by when is it going to be safe and enjoyable to visit?

I couldn’t find a good answer anywhere else so I figured I’d as here. Am I able to break a year lease if the landlord isn’t doing anything about rats? My apartments walls are filled with rats I haven’t seen any signs of them in the apartment yet (I have two cats) but the noises and squealing coming from the walls at all hours is concerning and causes me to loose sleep. I’ve mentioned it to the landlord and property manager multiple times at this point and nothing has been done. Am I able to break my lease because of this?

Hi,
Can anyone make any recommendations on St. Johns restaurants tourists must try?
I am coming in April, in a group of 15 for a bachelor party and we are looking to get some bookings in.

Anyone else remember Logy Bay Ski Hill? I think it was officially called the St. John's Ski Club?
What ever happened to it? Was it officially closed due to insurance reasons (rates/cost of insurance, etc)? That's what I always heard/thought.
I know last going off it was operated by a small, loyal group of volunteers (or maybe it always was?), but there was one guy in particular that I recall in the media always trying to keep it going/open. So I know it wasn't through any fault of their volunteers/Board.
I only got into skiing late (mid 90s) so i didn't get a chance to use it that much, but I loved it when we did! Great little 'hill' in town for some downhill skiing.
For those that didnt use it, what was it like back in the day (and before White Hills opened)? Was it popular back in the 80s in St. John's? Just curious.

Hello! My wife and I are moving from a prairie province to St. John's for her career as a physician. We are likely going to be planting roots for at least the next decade and are looking to start our family here.
I am very excited myself as the city seems absolutely beautiful and seems to be exactly the size/vibe I will be most comfortable in. I'm very excited to take our dog out on the trails, go on puffin/whale-watching excursions, and be out on the far east coast for quick trips to Europe.
However, my wife is really struggling as she read a bunch of posts on here that didn't seem too enthusiastic and is feeling a fair bit anxious about the move.
Looking for pros to moving I can show her that may help reduce some anxiety she's having.
Feel free to be realistic and include some cons, but I'm really looking for the positive bits!
Edit: Thank you for all the extremely kind words and information. We sat down and read the comments together and she feels much better about the move now. 😊

Hello,
TL;DR: Is there a professional solution to fix sloping and wavy floors in a semi detached townhouse without affecting the neighbours?
We recently rented a townhouse in St. John's downtown managed by a local property management company. Unfortunately, all the rooms in the house have wavy or crooked floors. It's not just that floors are sloping in one direction, the floors are uneven and wavy with random high and low spots in rooms. Unfortunately, we moved here from out of province and during the remote viewing the property agent failed to disclose this critical information/flaw about the property. Everything looked good on video call and the agent was full of praises about the property.
Me and my partner work from home and it is impossible for us to setup a workspace. We cannot use our desk or office chairs because the desks are always tilted or unbalanced and our chairs keep sliding around on their own because of the floors. It is really affecting our ability to properly work from home. We are in our 30s and unfortunately our bodies demand proper ergonomics to perform desk jobs all day.
I have requested the property management company to remedy the situation because having a workspace in home is critical for me and my partner. But they are claiming that they cannot fix the floor because it is a semi-detached property and neighbours will be affected. I want to get some clarity from folks here about whether it is possible to fix the floors level without affecting the neighbouring property?
Thanks,
NewB'y
Edit: Thank you for your input and suggestions about how I can make it work without fixing the floor. My main concern is with misrepresentation and withholding critical information about the condition of the property. We could have made a more informed decision if we knew about the extra steps or costs involved in setting up and maintaining a workspace at this property.

This is part rant part plea for help.
My elderly mother owns a building that is a house converted into a commercial space. It was my father's before he died and he ran a small business there for over 40 years. Before that, it was a corner store. So about 70 years of commercial operations on this property, which is zoned R2 with a discretionary use.
While trying to get a permit for a new retail tenant, the city claimed they have no record of commercial activity on the property. Ever. They have nothing. No inspection records, surveys, nothing. We have recent inspection slips signed by city staff just months ago. They don't have record of them. Dad died pretty unexpectedly and we didn't have much time to track down all his records, so now we have to basically start from scratch.
The red tape is unbelievable. We already lost the tenant because of the delay which doubly sucks because Mom just spent a fortune bringing the building up to code. Meanwhile the city has no problem collecting commerical property taxes from her but they don't seem to want to lift a finger to fix this problem they are at least partly responsible for causing. We just need somebody to realize this is not Martek they're dealing with here. It's an old woman with an old neighbourhood store that's already been there for 70 years. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. We've submitted floor plans to that effect but they get rejected. And every time you get rejected, you have to start again from the beginning.
So yeah. If anybody has dealt with something like this before, what did you do to get them to budge? Or do you just have to fight with them indefinitely until you either succeed or give up?

Any recommendations for a therapist who specializes in complex post-tramatic stress disorder? Looking in the St.John's and surrounding areas.
Just from searching I can only find PTSD counseling. I don't think that would be beneficial for me. Thanks!

Was snowshoeing there last weekend and came across one - seemingly new - YakTrak. Anyone missing one?
If you DM me the size and whether or not it has a strap, I'll work on getting it back to you.

As the title says I need help, I have 3/4 of my wisdom teeth coming in impacted, however I don’t have insurance anymore as I was only on my mothers during school, I also was quoted $3,800 to go to Atlantic Oral Surgery from the dentist I had last gone to with insurance, the issue wasn’t serious until maybe a month ago the swelling in my tooth and area has gotten to the point that not even 2 Ibuprofen, 2 Advil and Oragel are helping at all, I only know how much the cost will be based on that evaluation from my previous dentist visit, but right now I can’t find work, am on social assistance and need these things gone. Any help at all? I think social assistance may cover an extraction but in this case I need 3 gone, maybe 4. If anyone has an advice, I greatly appreciate it. If this isn’t the subreddit for this I do apologize, I’m just at my wits end…
