This week we are celebrating Free Comic Book Day & Star Wars Day! My Halifax is all about things to do in Halifax, Nova Scotia. If you just want to visit Halifax or you live here full time, this vlog is here for you! So with that, we could think of no where better to do that than Cape & Cowl!
This week we are checking out Cape & Cowl Comics! Not only do they have an amazing comic book store, they also do so much for the community, especially for youth.
Cape & Cowl is so much more than a comic book store, they offer counciling for youth, D&D nights for anyone that wants to drop in, and Autisum Nova Scotia have D&D night, as well as they have yoga events and finally they host affordable birthday parties too.
These are just a few of the ways Cape & Cowl are helping the community. You should definitely check them out! Read More…

A pilot initiative to offer youth counselling out of a Halifax-area comic shop has taken off better than its collaborators expected.
Cape and Cowl Comics owner Jay Roy proudly declares his space to be a bully-free zone and a trans-owned business in Lower Sackville, N.S. When it’s not being used for organized activities, his shop is open to anyone who wants to drop in. Youth often visit to play board games, watch shows on his retro TV or read comics and books set aside in the cosy space. Roy knows many nearby junior high students on a first-name basis because they often drop by over their lunch hour. Read More…

So, you’re interested in booking a birthday party at Cape & Cowl?!
Fantastic! Here are some details:
The first thing we do is look at what date you are interested in and see if we have free space that day!
Parties happen on Saturdays from 1:00 until 3:00 pm or from 4:00 until 6:00 pm, and on Sundays from 1:00 until 3:00 pm!
Our birthday party price total is $199.99 ($229.99 after taxes).
The birthday kid can invite up to nine friends to attend!
A non-refundable deposit to reserve the date is $50, but that will come out of your total, so the remaining amount to pay on party day would be $179.99.
For this, we offer a full two hour birthday party hosted in our drop-in center by Jay and volunteers! The space gets decorated with balloons, unless we get a request to omit them, and has two arcades that are operated by quarters, free-play video game systems including an original Nintendo, a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo Wii, and an XBox 360 with lots of fun games to choose from like Mario, Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong, Lego Hobbit, Super Smash Bros, Minecraft, Sonic, MarioKart, and more, plus board games like Operation, Perfection, Riff Raff, Twister, Trouble, etc. to play if you should like!
We also provide two large pizzas, (from Randy’s across the street from us), with whatever the kids want on them the day of, and a cake made locally by Mercedes of Skye's the Limit, Custom Cakes! They have a list of flavors you can choose from and masterfully decorate any theme a party kid can dream up! You just let us know what you like and we take care of ordering it all for you! The cake will be waiting here for you when you arrive for your party!
We require you to take care of the invitations, and bring drinks and snacks for the party-goers, but we do the rest!
We have bowls, cups, plates, forks and napkins AND candles here for you too! As well as a mini-fridge and microwave should you require them!
In addition to all of that, we make up treat bags for all the kids which include toys, candy, little action figures, and Pokemon cards, AND you leave the mess, we’ll take care of that!
Message or call us to book today! We book up quite far in advance, so the sooner the better!
We couldn't agree more!
