As Thanksgiving weekend approaches, the Owen Sound Current’s small but growing team — our publisher, editor, and events coordinator, and columnists — are grateful for our readers and this community. We hope you have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend, whatever your plans.
We also take this time to reflect on where we live and operate: on the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation, the People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. We give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known together as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.
Thanksgiving can be a time of gratitude and connection, but it can also carry painful meaning for many Indigenous people.
As you head into this long weekend, we encourage you to reflect on what gratitude, respect, and reconciliation mean here in Owen Sound, across the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula, and throughout the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
In addition to a recap of our top stories, there’s a special editorial update for full subscribers below. Read on for that, but first, these were your most-read stories this week:
