‘Crow & Bear’ formerly the Time and Place built in 1975 burning at 5:30 am this morning at Christina Lake.

“It’s a loss for our small community here, it’s the only pub,” said Fire Chief Ken Gresley-Jones.
There was a somber mood amongst the emergency crews as they watched the bar burn down.

“Its always been there, that’s been the place. Many of us on the fire department referred to it as City Hall, it’s just there, and now it’s not. It’s not a happy day.”
