There’s a lot happening today, including:

• Bluewater District School Board on the CFOS Open Line just after 9am

• Owen Sound City Council tonight at 5:30pm - free subscribers get a selection of agenda highlights while full subscribers can take a deep dive into everything that’s coming to Council in our Special Edition Council Agenda article for this week

• The ‘Motorheads’ casting call is closing soon and still has room for locals, so check that out here if you might be interested in a paying role as an “extra” when a big film star comes to Chatsworth.

We asked readers on Friday:

Ninety-five percent want to see the public consulted in some way on the future of our art gallery, with just 5% responding “No, I trust all is well.”

Of course, 19 respondents is a very small sample. It would be interesting to see the results if the City conducted this type of outreach on their own, with their much larger audience and greater access to residents. We will see whether there’s any outreach or attempt at consultation as this idea of expansion proceeds.

Full subscribers, there’s a lot more for you below, including…

• Two men have been charged in the 2022 death of a 23-year-old in Grey Highlands

• Highlights from the most recent Grey County Council meeting

• An appeal from police for three individuals to come forward and speak with them after gas was stolen from a company vehicle near Springmount

• YMCA receives a record-breaking donation from a group of local women

• An update from ‘Take Your MPP to School Day’ at OSDSS

• Saugeen Shores is taking action to prevent altercations and injuries due to off-leash dogs

• More service interruptions at Durham Hospital
