Savour Owen Sound is back in March for the 12th year running, and that means it’s time to make sure your favourite local restaurant knows registration is open now to participate.

Eateries within 20 kilometres of Owen Sound can participate by registering by February 7, 2025, to join this year’s lineup, which will feature themed weeks and expanded media coverage.

For more details, contact Melissa Crannie, Tourism Marketing Coordinator for the City of Owen Sound, at 519-376-4440 ext. 1245 or mcrannie@owensound.ca.

Next, under public notices, we have more changes to the City of Owen Sound’s committee meeting schedule. Given that members of the public are now being told committees are their place to be heard, the City isn’t making it easy to keep up with how or when one might actually attend to address any given issue.
