Sloan, Dutch Mason, April Wine: all great musicians from Halifax (except the April Wine part).

And now an outbreak of gastrointestinal illness causing vomiting and diarrhea at a downtown Halifax hotel is under investigation by officials at the Capital District Health Authority.

The health authority said at least 50 staff and guests at the Delta Halifax have fallen ill this week.

It said the hotel has increased cleaning, removed “suspected” food and is asking staff who fall ill not to return to work until 48 hours after symptoms end.
