Yesterday, we asked which issue will most influence your vote in the upcoming provincial election, and there’s still time to weigh in here.

On our first poll question: Fifteen days out from Election Day, 93% of respondents indicated they plan to vote in this election; 69% are decided, and 24% haven’t decided yet. Just 1% said they don’t think their vote matters.

We're taking the community’s temperature on various issues ahead of the provincial election on February 27. You can see results in our BGOS Votes: 2025 Provincial Election Guide, and subscribe to The Owen Sound Current to have your say.

Before we get to the news, a local organization penned an open letter to MPP candidates:
