On Wednesday [Dec 19] evening, twenty-five firefighters battled a blaze that broke out at the old Canadian Hotel on Reid Street. The building was first opened as hotel in 1918, later became a rooming house, and has been unoccupied for the past few years.
A police spokesperson said: “The section of Reid Street between King Street and Court Street has been re-opened to normal traffic flow and parking after a further structural assessment of the old Canadian Hotel building damaged by fire Wednesday night was completed. However, inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
