On October 20, 2024, the Owen Sound Army Cadets showcased their skills at the 2024 Biathlon Championship Series Stage 2 held at Canadian Forces Base Borden. Competing against cadets from Northwest Area, the team achieved remarkable results, with two teams finishing in the top three.

Yesterday, we asked, “Are you satisfied with City Council’s overall performance in their first two years on the job?” You can still respond to that community poll here and, in doing so, help inform The Owen Sound Current’s Midterm Council Report.

In today’s poll, we’re looking inward and want to know more about whether The Owen Sound Current is meeting your needs and expectations.

We receive many news tips and story ideas each week and try to balance our original reporting with news curated from other sources, so you get one comprehensive wrap-up in your inbox each weekday morning.

How are we doing? We’re curious:

Be honest! We can take it 😁 Your continued feedback in our polls, article comments, by email, and in person continue to help us build and shape OwenSoundCurrent.com as a community resource we hope all can enjoy.
