An open letter to the Mayor and Council of Owen Sound.
When we bought our property, 52.5 acres in Owen Sound, we were welcomed by then Mayor Ruth Lovell and then City Planner Bill White. We were told that there would be no impediments to ...

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you today as a concerned citizen, but more importantly as a young person whose life you have the power to greatly impact - for good and for ill. This message is in response to the Deep Geologic Repository Project that Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to construct in the municipality of Kincardine.
