Happy Friday, Readers! As we head into another frosty weekend, we want to share a quick reminder of just how much your support for independent local media matters.
You’ve probably noticed: we don’t just chase headlines. We follow stories all the way through, even when (especially when) they get complicated, uncomfortable, or buried in red tape.
Right now, we’re in mediation and adjudication over FOI requests with both the City of Owen Sound and the Grey Bruce Health Unit. We’ll be in court several days next week to cover proceedings in a few different cases that matter locally. And we’re still digging for answers in the alleged real estate investment fraud that took place here in Owen Sound over the last several years — a story we broke first, based on tips from this community.
This is the kind of reporting that only local journalism can do. But it takes time, access, and your support. If you’re not already a full subscriber, now’s a great time to upgrade.
Every subscription helps keep this work going, and that means keeping important questions from going unanswered in Grey and Bruce.
Thanks for reading, and for standing with local news that doesn’t quit. Here are your most-read stories from this week:
