Sauna GI Joe (Halifax)

The sauna at 2199 Gottingen Street, Halifax, briefly advertised this name with a logo identical to GI•Joe in Montreal. Following representations by the lawyers for the Montreal business, the name was changed back to Seadogs Sauna before it opened.1

The Montreal sauna is at 1166 Rue St-Catherine; its website is here.
