Dating safely
Most people you meet are exactly who they say. These habits protect you from the few who aren’t.
Report romance scams to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre
If someone you met online asks for money, gift cards or crypto, stop contact and report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501, and to the RCMP or your local police. You can also report the profile to us, and a person will review it.

At places like Peggy's Cove, waves wash over the dark rocks at the water's edge and they are slippery. It is very hard to get out of the water once you are in, so stay back and keep to the barriers and viewing areas.

Check the roads before a winter drive
Before driving to a date in winter, call 511 or visit 511.novascotia.ca for road conditions. Use winter tires, carry an emergency kit, keep your tank at least half full and allow extra time.
