The Train Station Pub is now open and ready to welcome us all back. They kicked their doors open over the weekend after a month of being closed for renos.

Quite frankly, it’s nice to see new life breathed into these buildings after the jabs thrown at our historic structures.

One of the biggest things that guests will notice is the overhauled bar with more seating, an expanded selection of draft beers

Head over and check out the new digs, the official grand opening will be on February 16th, however you'll need a golden ticket to get in to the event. There are still some available through The Train Station social media pages.

Weber vs Construction Noise

In today’s city council meeting, councilor Rick Weber will bring forward a motion to ask what can be done about construction noise bylaws.

The current law allows for construction noise from 7am to 9pm, seven days a week, or face a $500 fine.

In his motion, Weber notes that housing construction is a top priority of council, and learning to live with the noise is a reality faced by hundreds of residents in the city.

Weber suggests that some development-heavy cities in the province should reduce the hours for construction noise.
