Congratulations to the Owen Sound Police Services for their quick work in apprehending the arson suspects. Officers came in on days off, from sick leave and holidays for 18-hour shifts to get the job done!

Having practiced criminal law for several years, I have full confidence in our justice system and our Crown Attorney's office in Grey County to deal with these matters.

We are all angry, but this is not the time to think of revenge. Let's focus our Owen Sound passion on helping the victims get back on their feet and healing our community. Please participate in and support the charitable events and fundraisers over the coming weeks.

Thanks to all of our first responders, and everyone in our community for pulling together.

Mayor Ian C. Boddy
