The second of three Goods Exchange Days for 2015 will be taking place on Saturday July 25. It's like a City-wide Free Yard Sale.
Goods Exchange Day is an enjoyable way to divert usable items and materials from landfill disposal. It is also a great way to get rid of unwanted stuff without the hassle of having to put on your own garage sale.
We ask that City residents...
The City of Owen Sound Council has approved a new 2015 Strategic Plan: 2020 Making Our Vision Clear.
Lura Consulting was selected last November to assist the City in the development of a strategic plan, and for the past eight months, City representatives have been asking community members 'what you love about Owen Sound', 'what your vision is for Owen Sound', and to prioritize the City's future.
On July 20, 2015, Council approved the final draft of the City of Owen Sound's 2015 Strategic Plan. "This Strategic Plan is a blueprint that will help guide Owen Sound's decision-making on programs, policies and community investments over the next five years," said Mayor Ian Boddy. "It embodies the long-term vision, mission, and goals of Owen Sound's residents and businesses, which are important to the future development of the City. I am proud of the fact that close to 800 people provided input to this Plan."
The Strategic Plan identifies four primary focus areas
The Owen Sound Attack is announcing that Head Coach Greg Ireland has resigned to pursue a professional coaching opportunity. Ireland informed Attack General Manager Dale DeGray of his decision on Saturday.
“We’re losing a good coach, a good friend and a good person in Greg Ireland”, stated Attack General Manager Dale DeGray. “Greg has done a wonderful job for us the last four season and we cannot thank him enough. We wish Greg, his wife Erin and two boys Jake and Brennan the absolute best in their new venture.”

Go Set A Watchman. By Harper Lee. Harper. 278 pp. US$27.99, Canada $34
Surely to say that Harper Lee ought not to have published Go Set A Watchman or it should not be read is the censorship of political and literary correctness.
Perhaps it should be withdrawn from circulation altogether and burned?
The backstory is that book editor Therese von Hohoff Torrey read this manuscript in 1957 and used it as the starting point to coach an uncertain and insecure Harper Lee in a rewrite that became known as To Kill A Mockingbird.
In 1960, J. B. Lippincott Company published the 40-million copy best seller and Tay Hohoff persuaded Lee to file the original manuscript in her underwear drawer, or some such place.
