On Thursday, the Province of Ontario announced an extension to the Stay-at-Home Order until June 2, 2021.

The announcement brings no major changes to City operations, however, residents are reminded that City Hall remains closed to the public and any employee with the ability to work from home is required to do so.

Core services will continue to be provided to residents throughout the closure period. Council and Committee meetings will continue to be held virtually and can be viewed on the City’s website.

Due to the Stay-at-Home Order residents are reminded that the Household Hazardous Waste event scheduled for May 15 has been cancelled. Residents are also discouraged from participating in Goods Exchange Day scheduled for May 29.

Boat Launches, Parks and trails remain open for passive use; however, sports fields, tennis courts, and basketball courts remain closed under the Order.

Many Owen Sound businesses remain open for curbside pickup. We urge residents to shop locally and support local businesses whenever possible.

The City of Owen Sound will continue to monitor and assess the situation closely and work diligently with the Grey Bruce Public Health Unit to respond appropriately.
