Local restaurant opens patio to dogs offering ‘pup-tizers' and dog-safe beer
Beertown Public House has created a specially designed dog menu and non-alcoholic dog-safe beer for pups to enjoy this summer season.
This initiative is part of Beertown's ongoing commitment to creating inclusive, welcoming spaces for all. 'Beertown is about bringing people together, and that includes the furry members of the family,' said John Mackay, president of Beertown Public House. 'Our dog-friendly patio and specially crafted menu make it easy for guests and their pups to relax, enjoy great food and share the best moments of the season together.'
The menu dubbed 'Bone Appetit,' offers 'Pup-Tizers' and 'Patio Bites' plus a variety of simple dishes. 'Whether it's a juicy grilled chicken breast or a crisp side of carrots and celery, there's something to make every tail wag,' continued Mackay.
Pups can wash down their meal with 'The Barking Brew,' an alcohol-free, dog-friendly beer crafted from locally farmed Canadian Angus beef bones. Designed to support gut health, enhance digestion, strengthen joints and detoxify the liver.

Special constable who welcomed officers to Sachs Harbour receives RCMP headstone
Social Sharing A former special constable who helped police settle into Sachs Harbour, N.W.T., was honoured this week with an RCMP headstone for his work. The late Peter Esau, who died in 2017, served in Sachs Harbour in the 1950s. He was recognized Tuesday in a ceremony in Inuvik. Esau was one of the special constables who helped RCMP officers adapt to their postings, often showing them how to trap and live off the land. Aleta Esau, one of his daughters, said her dad was from Aklavik and he himself needed to adapt to a new way of life in Sachs Harbour. "One of the things I remember him saying was he had to learn from the locals on how to trap and live in a different environment. From the trees to the tundra, he had to learn a different style of trapping," Aleta said, adding the lack of wood to make fires was another challenge he had to overcome. She said she wants people to remember her father as a man of the land. "He was a big part of the Muskox harvest, and he was always proud of being a trapper and the skills he learned on the land," Aleta said. "He really enjoyed what he was doing." Retired officers Eric LaFoy and Bob Knight, who both worked with Esau, made the trip north to be at the ceremony The recognition didn't feel real for Aleta until she got phone calls from the retired officers, she said. "When they called me, that's when it became something to look forward to," she said. "It's so nice to see our family come out for this. I got a lot of phone calls [from] people who wished to be here for this." Aleta said LaFoy and Knight left a mark on their family too — Knight is the godfather of Aleta's older sister. Not all special constables get headstones, but the two veteran officers who worked with Esau made sure he did. LaFoy was in Sachs Harbour from 1982 to 1984. He spent 22 years in N.W.T. He said the visit back to the North was one to remember. "Those were probably the best two years of my life on the force," LaFoy said. "It's so wonderful to be here today. I haven't seen some of them since they were little kids." LaFoy said the relationship between the special constables who were locals and the RCMP officers who were new to the North was crucial for their success. "Special constables at that time were our life link. We come up here, we are new to the country and to the people, we didn't speak the language or know the customs," said LaFoy. "Without them, we would not have survived, quite honestly." A ceremony was held at the Inuvik cemetery Tuesday followed by a reception at the RCMP mess hall. LaFoy said it's important to remember the special constables who served the detachments. "This feels great," he said.

Halifax closing Cogswell Park encampment due to newly-opened adult care facility
Tents are pictured at Cogswell Park in Halifax on July 7, 2025. (CTV Atlantic) The Halifax Regional Municipality has announced it will close the Cogswell Park encampment in the Quinpool Road area of the city next month. Notices have been issued to people sheltering at the site, stating they have until Sept. 21 to leave. The de-designation is due to a new adult care facility that has recently opened at the corner of Robie Street and Quinpool. 'Since this former designated location is within 50 metres of it, this site must be closed because it no longer complies with the municipality's encampment policies, which prohibit sheltering within 50 metres of an adult care facility,' reads a Wednesday news release from HRM. Those currently sleeping rough at Cogswell Park will be offered resources and support over the next several weeks, including the temporary storage of their belongings. The municipality adds there are several spaces available at provincial indoor shelters and temporary housing options. 'As more indoor shelter spaces and supportive housing options become available, more municipal designated locations will be closed, de-designated and returned to their intended purposes as spaces for everyone,' the release reads. There were 75 tents and four trailers in the municipality's remaining designated sites as of Aug. 15. For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
