After sold out shows this weekend in Montreal and Quebec City, Reuben and the Dark's next stop is TOMORROW in Cape Breton! Come check out the live show Billboard described as "spirited melodies (unifying) the band and its audience."

Here is a song from the brand new album, If You Know Me You Know My Brother, released last Friday, October 9, from a hotel room on the tour. Join us in Downtown Sydney at Daniel's Taphouse to see the full band create the lush anthemic arrangement of this and their expansive songlist tomorrow night alongside rising local favourites Lookout Tower!

Tickets for Reuben and the Dark with Lookout Tower @ Daniels Taphouse are available for $20 + tax and fees at http://theopenscene.ca/tickets or at the door starting at 7PM. Admission is restricted to 19+, IDs are required if requested.

About Lookout Tower:

A rollicking hoedown of folk and roots styles that nod to the beloved trad of their Cape Breton home paired with high-powered blue rock and soul of days gone by, LOOKOUT TOWER have begun to pave their path as Cape Breton’s next breakout ensemble. With four albums under their belt and appearances at Blueberry Jam, Cavendish Beach Music Festival, and alongside Tenille Townes at Canada Day 2026, they are as comfortable under the bright lights as they are bringing down the house in a packed barn burner.

Cody kelly is a rapist and people should beware of him. He's gotten off scott free even with police involvement and shouldnt be allowed to. He has no remorse with what he's done and is living his life in peace right now. He has admitted himself that he raped multiple times and has sexually abused. Nothings ever done about things like these and I just want awareness to be spread to beware of him especially in places where people work (Sydney btw)

I'm looking to get my red seal certification to be a chef. I'm wondering if anyone knows chefs in Cape Breton I can work under to make this happen.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of any hiking groups or clubs on the island.

My brother is a tattoo artist and I work in product ops. This started as a text exchange on September 3rd, and just over a month later we have a website for custom-coloured, hand-drawn golf course prints.

We wanted our first courses to be Canadian, so we started at either end of the country. Banff Springs was my pick. Cabot Cliffs was his, and I don't think anyone here needs convincing on that one.

So: this is Cabot Cliffs, 12x18, in our "Butter on Pine" colourway. Every fairway, bunker and green is drawn by hand, then giclée printed on 230gsm archival paper (and framed, if you want it) here in Canada.

Full disclosure: it's our shop. I'd really value opinions from people who know the course. Does it read like Cabot to you? And when we draw another Cape Breton course, should it be Cabot Links or Thompson's other masterpiece, Highlands Links?

Trying to decide whether to go this weekend or next.

I’m planning to visit Cape Breton this weekend. Do you know whether the fall colours are at their peak, or would it be better to wait until next week? I have some flexibility and would appreciate your advice. I would really appreciate if you could drop in locations I must visit considering I am unable to secure parking for skyline trial.

Hi everyone, I'm a former Sydney resident and the author of *A Losing Hand: The Human Costs of Canada's Gambling Epidemic*. It’s out now from Sutherland House Books.

I've organized a free, local author talk at the library and want to share the info here in case anyone's interested in joining. Hope to see some of you there!

I am planning a trip to Cape Breton this Thanksgiving long weekend (Oct 10–12) and were really looking forward to hiking the Skyline Trail.

Unfortunately, all the parking reservations seem to be fully booked for those days.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any other way to access the trail? Has anyone been in a similar situation or found an alternative that works within the park rules?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If I am on a bit of a time crunch, how quickly could you hike to the best view point for Franey and hike back down?

I’ve recently bought a home from the early 1930’s in baddeck that has really nice wood windows but some are in rough shape. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendations for someone who restores older wood windows.

Places for a worker to stay 3 times per week?

Curious if anywhere here has recommendation for piano lessons. Would mostly be interested in cbu students who are giving lessons on the side. Still fairly new to playing, would have a budget around $30 for 45-60 minutes per session.

Hey! Just wanted to let everyone know that Caper Radio’s Gobblefest is happening this weekend! Some totally rad shows announced so far, information in the posters.

Ton of totally talented musicians doing cool stuff this weekend, come on out!

Afternoon - looking for some student advisors! Applying for the 12 month online program in the Spring of 2027, elementary level. I’d love some advice on the courses, workload and practicums. Thanks ahead of time. 🤙🏽
