In a time when much of the news we see feels distant and disconnected, Owen Sound Current exists to keep our focus close to home. We’re here to highlight the decisions, developments, and discussions that shape daily life in and around Owen Sound—and to help connect the people who care about them.

We work hard to surface the stories that matter, share updates from across the region, and invite our readers to be part of the conversation. Whether it’s a zoning debate, a shoreline issue, or a quiet act of community care, we want to hear from you.

Send your photos and letters to the editor to owensoundcurrenteditor@gmail.com, or simply reply to one of these emails.

And let us know:

Thanks for being here, and for believing that local stories are worth sharing.
