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.
