Eelgrass sculpture at Pugwash Library celebrates hidden ecosystems
- Details
Pugwash has long been known as a community that embraces art.
Over the years, nearly 20 art pieces have been affixed to the walls of the village core as part of the Pugwash Open Air Gallery. On Saturday, June 27, 2026, the latest addition to the gallery was unveiled at the Pugwash Library.
The Community Eelgrass Restoration Initiative, part of the Future of Marine Ecosystems Lab at Dalhousie University, has been working with Halifax’s Zuppa Theatre and the open air gallery to create sculptures that celebrates the eelgrass replanting that occurred in 2024 with the Friends of the Pugwash Estuary.
The sculptures are meant to serve as a reminder to never forget unseen ecosystems and to always remember the power of a rallied and committed community.
Bill Mundle Marina officially opened in Pugwash
- Details
More than 40 years ago, the late Bill Mundle had a vision of the potential a marina in Pugwash harbour would bring to the community.
It took a lot of time – and more than a few regulatory and funding hurdles to jump through – but the community has a new and improved marina named in his honour.
Mundle, who passed away in 2023, was the very first commodore of the new Pugwash Yacht Club in 1983.
His daughter, Debbie Cameron, is the present commodore – the eighth in the club’s history. She feels he’d very pleased at how his vision has been realized.
“It’s surreal. When you spend six years thinking about the project every day, it sort of hits you that all we have to do now is celebrate, the work is done,” Cameron said after cutting the ribbon to officially open the Bill Mundle Marina in Pugwash on Saturday, June 27. “It’s been a long six-year journey from the time we pressed go. There were a lot of pieces that had to fall into place, but we finally did it.”

Sunrise Landing in Pugwash making excellent progress
- Details
What started as a vision more than four years ago is quickly moving towards reality with construction of Sunrise Landing in Pugwash.
Construction of the 40-unit inclusive housing development began last summer with the first of 16 buildings nearing completion and the first tenants expected to move in sometime later this summer.
If all goes well, supporters of the project hope to have the entire project completed by November.
