Ongoing acts of vandalism and destruction are straining the Festival of Northern Lights’ volunteer resources and leaving some visitors wondering why displays are out of order. See more below.

As the November chill settles in, what better way to lift your spirits than with the flavours of faraway lands? Owen Sound and the immediate surrounding area are home to hidden gems offering international delicacies—from European pastries and Dutch cheeses to Indian spices and prepared meals—all conveniently nearby.

These local shops are a feast for the senses, with each offering its own unique specialties. Discover freshly made Eastern European dishes prepared by an in-house chef, Dutch treats like Bols Advocaat and Gouda cheese, or hard-to-find Indian ingredients that bring an authentic taste to your home cooking. Enjoy our contributor Angela Kemble’s latest local food review:
