There's nothing quite like expertly played brass music for stirring the senses and touching the heart. From the tender tone of the French horn and the subtleties of the trumpet, to the smoothness of the trombone and the resonance of the tuba, brass instruments can handle a vast repertoire that includes classical, jazz, folk, sacred, ceremonial and popular works. On April 24 and 25, join the SweetWater Music Festival at Georgian Shores United Church as we celebrate this versatile family of instruments.
Friday, April 24 will see some of the best brass musicians in Grey and Bruce counties come together under the exceptional direction of Canadian brass music icon Don Johnson.

Local farmers and food producers want to supply you with the best of their best. Their challenge is to create a system that brings you what you want to eat in a way that is sustainable and fair to both producers and eaters.
To this end, you are being invited to participate in a survey about your family's likes, needs and patterns in food shopping and cooking. Where do you buy your food? What do you consider in making your choices? How interested are you in prepared foods? The Grey Bruce Centre for Agro-ecology, a farm-based co-operative, will use the community's answers to create an on-line ordering system that will bring local food right to your neighbourhood, maybe even right to your door. Fresh, convenient, packaged to suit your household at competitive prices – that is the goal. From veggies and baking to coffee, pantry staples and prepared meals, the local grocery distribution system can provide a wide variety of food options.
Your answers to the survey linked here will help local producers provide the right mix for our Grey-Bruce eaters. All the submissions will be confidential, but you will have the option to sign up for updates as the distribution project unfolds toward a launch as early as this fall.

Before councillors took their seats before the cameras they had already been meeting in camera for more than three hours, primarily discussing local property issues. The regular council meeting involved some real rearranging of the agenda, so I have been a little more thematic in my notes for clarity.
The meeting began with a pleasant duty for Mayor Ian Boddy - recognizing the Owen Sound Volunteers of the Year.
Among them, this year's honourees have over 120 years (to which they will admit) of combined service to their communities. Eugenia Rawn was primarily nominated for her work with the Quota Club, and Ann Kelly for the Festival of Northern Lights, but between the two there was hardly a community cause or committee to which they had not made a contribution. Barbara Olmsted, manager of the Auxiliary-run gift shop at Grey Bruce Health Services, spends as much time on her duties there as any full-time employee. Of course, being the gracious women they are, all three Volunteers of the Year thanked and credited others for their success.
