The Walleye on Instagram
Did you know @dawsontrailcraftbrewery has a new home? Their new location on Golf Links Road (next to @onthelinks) features a full-production brewery, larger taproom with board games and retro arcade machines, AND food by @station.22.

A bird’s-eye view of TBay's rivers invites a variety of comparisons: arteries and veins, abstract art, meandering pathways, or even trickles of sweat and tears on a face. Those comparisons are fitting, because the waterways are part of our region’s history, commerce, transportation, recreation, ecology, and culture, marked by sorrow and joy. This month, we take a closer look at the Current, McIntyre, Neebing, and Kaministiquia Rivers along with McVicar Creek.
Read it online (link in bio) or pick up a hard copy around town starting next week.
