Happy Tuesday, readers! In case you missed it — yesterday, we shared a request for written submissions to support transparency into the Vision 2050 project.
We’re asking the City of Owen Sound to waive the estimated $7,000+ in fees they’ve requested for our FOI request into this planning exercise, which, in 18+ months and with a $180,000 budget so far, has not yet produced a strategic plan.
You can learn more about that here.
