Mayor Ian Boddy and Member of Owen Sound City Council
I attended last night’s meeting of Owen Sound City Council. City Manager Tim Simmonds was asked by Mayor Boddy to respond to a question from a member of the public – Francesca Dobbyn, Executive Director of United Way Bruce Grey, and a member of the Save the Bandstand group. Dobbyn had asked Council why the city had posted closed signs on the bandstand, which was being used by unhoused people as shelter.
Dear Maryann,
I have just finished reading the magazine and want to sincerely complement you and the others for a really worthwhile contribution to Owen Sound life.
So much is going on here, and whether or not I am able to attend an event, there is something for everyone here.
The 2022 municipal election takes place Monday October 24.
The Hub presents a list of candidates for office in Owen Sound including city council and both the public and separate school boards.

I wrote a lot of letters to the editor. I was possessed of some strong opinions. So I left the peanut gallery, tossed my hat in the ring and ran for city council. That was four years ago. Of those councillors elected, I placed middle of the pack. Not terrific but not bad either. ...
With the municipal election coming up in October, and a new awareness of how fragile our community is, I am scared.
I sat through a long Owen Sound Council meeting tonight. A detailed motion was brought forward by John Tamming to ban Short Term Rentals in Residential neighbourhoods because of the havoc they are causing. Note that "STR's" refers to houses that are owned by people from other cities, who do not live in these houses but just siphon off money and remove the homes from the housing market.
