Plaid up. Show up. Moose out.

In honour of our hometown legend, Kalam A Moose, Old Dog Tavern is going full Canadiana for one unforgettable night. This all-ages fundraiser supports the 2026 Canadiana Fest — and it’s packed with live music, comfort food, zero-proof cocktails, and just the right amount of northern mischief.

🎶 Live Canadiana Music

Full Frontal Overdrive – can you guess what band they are covering!?

The Tritones -music of Neil Young, Leonard Cohen & more

Evan Anderson- Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Alannis Morisette ++

The Hen Peck’d Dawgs– Early Acadian, Sea Shanties & Trad/Celtic

John Louis Good– Stompin’ Tom Connors Folk/Country

From East Coast shanties to arena-worthy anthems, the soundtrack spans generations of Canadian sound.

🍁 Old Dog’s Kitchen Goes North

• Peameal bacon sandwiches
• Loaded poutine
• Canadian-inspired specials

This isn’t symbolic poutine. This is fork-required, gravy-and-curd excellence.

🍹 The Drinks

Canadian-crafted beers plus custom zero-proof cocktails made with Clearly Canadian sparkling waters.

Bright. Crisp. Intentional flavour.
Full flavour. No alcohol. No compromise.

🎯 More Moose Energy

Crokinole. Backyard curling.
Meet Kalam A Moose and Bobbie Beerver.
Moose merch. Photo ops. Plaid everywhere.

Dress in your best plaid. Rock the Canadian tuxedo. Flex your moosle.
