Halifax bars and restaurants permitted to re-open January 4
Thursday afternoon’s Covid update in Nova Scotia contained an announcement Haligonians weren’t expecting until late next week, at the earliest: Halifax restaurants are allowed to re-open.

Livelihood lobster fishing cast adrift: How DFO’s inaction has history repeating itself
St. Mary’s Bay in southwestern Nova Scotia is full of lobster. It is one of the most plentiful spots within the most lucrative lobster fishing area (LFA 34, technically) in Canada. It is also—as its name suggests—a bay. Flanked by the long peninsula of Digby Neck and its islands, the bay’s long, narrow body of…
Our first year of living with COVID-19
December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization first heard about a cluster of cases of “viral pneumonia” in Wuhan, China.

One year later, the United States just had its most-ever C19 deaths in a single day: 3,808 people dead.…

An ode to 25+ Halifax businesses that closed in 2020
It’s been a tough year for us all. A year with fewer outings and more take-out. You haven’t put on real pants since at least October (since July, if you’re being more honest).

The year the music lived
We need music. There’s no other way to explain why it’s been with us for almost as long as fire has been. It tells stories and shares feelings—reminding us that there’s at least one other person out there, behind a guitar, who feels like we do. In a year where the feeling has just been…

Halifax Regional Police is all-in on body cameras, but police board isn’t so sure
Halifax’s board of police commissioners didn’t make it through all the items on its agenda again this week, and all the things that did get discussed also got deferred. So technically there’s nothing concrete to report but there are things worthy of reporting nonetheless. The commissioners voted to defer a decision on body-worn cameras to their…

Halifax’s indoor skatepark movement is just getting started
Tayvon Clarke’s best trick on his skateboard is a backside heel flip. To do it he combines a backside 180—which is already a combo of an ollie and a 180-degree turn—and a heelflip, where the heel hits the board and causes it to spin 360 degrees lengthwise. It requires—like all parts of skateboarding—hours and hours…
