On March 27, members of the Sydenham Sportsmen's Association welcomed second year Police Foundations students to their open-air facility, just south of Owen Sound.

Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament for Saanich - Gulf Islands, was not allowed to express her opinion in the House of Commons on the announcement by the Conservatives to extend and expand the mission in Iraq.

The City of Owen Sound is urging residents that if you are currently running water, please DO NOT stop even if it becomes mild outside, and to continue to run the water until you are notified to discontinue. This will continue for a number of weeks until the extreme frost depth period is over.
If you are serviced by a hose from a neighbour, DO NOT reduce the flow rate, please keep a tap running full open.
Many homes that have been hooked up via a hose have refrozen when they decreased flow for even the smallest amount of time.
Please visit the City website www.owensound.ca and click on the "Frozen Water Services" button for more information, including a map of the affected areas. Further areas may be added to this map as time goes on, please keep checking back for updates.

The City of Owen Sound is inviting the community to a conversation about our Strategic Plan Development on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at the Bayshore Community Centre, from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Bay Room.
Since February, the City of Owen Sound has been asking residents to think about their future. 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. These questions are part of the development of a Strategic Plan that will guide the City's future efforts.
There is still time for you to complete an online survey. It can be accessed at City Hall in the Clerk's department, or from www.owensound.ca/city-hall/strategic-plan/2015-review.
Public transit will be extended into the evening to allow fuller community participation.
The East Bayshore bus that normally serves the Bayshore Arena will transport those wishing to attend the meeting from the Terminal Building to the front entrance of the Bayshore Arena. Patrons will be required to be in possession of a valid transfer or pay the normal fare. Those patrons requiring specialized transit services who wish to attend the meeting should make their arrangements in the usual manner. Following the completion of the Community Meeting, patrons will find one bus for the east side and one bus for the west side of the City at the front entrance of the Bayshore Arena. There will be no final transfer at the Transit Terminal. Please note that conventional and specialized transit buses will be leaving the Bayshore Arena at 8:15 p.m. sharp, and all normal transit fares will apply.
