As we head into the Easter long weekend, our wee team at The Owen Sound Current wishes you a safe and restful holiday, whether you celebrate Easter or simply take the time to pause and recharge.

In recognition of the holiday, we will not publish our regular editions on Good Friday (April 18) or Easter Monday (April 21). We’ll only be in your inbox over the weekend if there’s urgent or breaking news to report.

Our next full edition will arrive early Tuesday morning, April 22, with the latest updates from Owen Sound and across the region.

Until then, take care — and stay safe out there.
