KINCARDINE – The South Bruce OPP is investigating a fraud after receiving a complaint from a Kincardine resident on August 27, 2014 at 9:42 am. A "Bank of Montreal (BMO) employee" called to report an internal banking error that meant the customer owed the bank $4,600. An arrangement was made for the money to be hand delivered at Victoria Park in Kincardine. Unfortunately, the money was gone before the scam was recognized.
Always be cautious when you receive unsolicited calls involving your money or personal information. Unsolicited means that you didn't ask for it. The BMO is a legitimate banking institution, but scammers will often identify themselves as an employee of a legitimate company in order to gain your trust.
LION'S HEAD – On Thursday, August 28, 2014, the OPP Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau – Drug Enforcement Unit, with the assistance of Bruce Peninsula OPP, and the West Region Emergency Response Team, executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant at a property on George Myles Road, in Lion's Head, Northern Bruce Peninsula.

Based on these results, the beach, which was posted as unsafe on August 20, 2014, is now deemed safe for swimming.

You can never go wrong raising the names of Grey County's trailblazing political women Agnes McPhail and Nellie McClung. The Bruce-Grey Owen Sound Liberal nomination meeting began with just such an invocation by chair Mary Anne Alton, former director of education for the Bluewater District School Board. Under party rules, nominations were closed August 14, and Kimberly Love's nomination went uncontested.
Kaisha Thompson, a 24-year-old law student from Meaford, nominated Love, recalling their first meeting. "It was when Stephen Harper prorogued parliament and the Liberals continued to work. Kim came to Ottawa as part of the shadow cabinet. It was her compassion and positivity that struck me right away.She is progressive yet pragmatic." Thompson said the region needs Love "so our voice is heard in Ottawa, not Stephen Harper's voice echoed in Grey-Bruce." She spoke passionately about the need for policies that will allow young people to come home to Grey-Bruce and practice law or medicine or buy back the family farm. Thomson was joined in her nomination speech by Alex Watson, 22, from Owen Sound. Both have accepted roles in the local Liberal campaign.
