Hey. Cool. I am the dad who was quoted last week telling his daughter 'Daddy loves you'. (She is like the sweetest thing since cinnamon buns!) Reading about it made my day. I was surprised more than embarrassed to be caught out. It is now in my daughter's scrapbook. —Dad Cares
I love it! I can't skate worth shit, but everybody's been really nice about skating around me and giving me room. Thank you for being understanding fellow Haligonians! Also, I had one of the best dates ever at the oval.....love you snuggle bunny! —The Glider and Arm Flailer

I love you OVAL! If I wasn't so afraid of being skated into a million pieces, I would lay down and kiss your icy lips. Fuck all the haters, this year, you'll be my valentine. I'll bring the cocoa, you bring that sweet icy goodness. I'll backflip-triple axel-open stroke the shit out of you... right after I learn to stay up. —Elvis Stojko
It's such a joy to watch all the heads bobbing along, people hand in hand, out in the open air. So many of us who haven't laced up a pair of skates since we were kids, now trying not to fall, grinning like idiots. We don't care what they want us to call you, nothing says winter like The Oval. —Ice Queen

THE OVAL!!!! As a naysayers most of the time, I have grown to love what the oval has come to stand for about halifax... Skate police giving individual attention to people that have never skated before is a grand thing. More kudos to those that go out there and want to learn. No concert will ever give HALIFAX what the oval provides. COMMUNITY LOVE. —LearnIng to Skate Upright and Long Time North Ender

It's been 4 years already, which is pretty crazy. We've weathered some pretty serious storms, and continue to go forward. Not quite as clear of sailing as we'd initially thought, but I'm sure we'll be fine as long as we're both on board. We've been around the world and continue to make tracks. I love ya a whole lot and look forward to what comes next... —The Cummer
To the fuzzy haired lady with the great ass who walks up Quinpool Road almost every day – you make me smile every morning. I don’t know if it’s your impeccable sense of style or your strut that says: “I’m hot and I know it”. Rock on, silver fox. Rock on. —Quinpool Creeper

To the handsome bearded guy who owns a certain sneaker store, you make me swoon. —Just Browsing
To the crossing guards at North and Dublin and also at Chebucto and Harvard. I'm 20 and don't really need to be helped across the street but it is still nice to have someone stop traffic for me once in a while. Like today in the rain when you stopped the cars and we had our little chat on the sidewalk. Its nice to stop for a couple minutes and talk, even on a rainy Tuesday morning.
I can see why a crossing guard is needed on North as the cars almost never stop to let me cross so I appreciate you being out there to help me.
Thank you so much. —Just Trying to Cross the Street
Sending some love to all the bus drivers of the Metro Transit. So many people depend on the bus every day to get them to work, school, downtown, or a friend's house and I feel we don't give the bus drivers enough credit.
Sure you may be late sometimes, you might stall in snow storms, and you can be crowded but that's not usually your fault. I can almost always depend on a bus to get me where I need to go. We tend to take the bus system for granted but many people would miss the bus system if it were to stop running. I know I would. —One of Many Everyday Bus Riders
