plough The City of Owen Sound will be performing snow removal operations beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22nd, at 8:00 p.m.

We ask that any vehicles along the downtown core be removed from parking spaces by 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 to assist with operations. Winter overnight parking restrictions are in place. Vehicles interfering with snow removal activities may be towed.

The areas impacted include the following streets, or sections of streets, in the downtown area:
