City of Owen Sound Council met last night. We’ve covered a few of their major decisions for you below and will be back with a roundup of meeting highlights.

Spoiler alert: neighbours of the BCK Lot and Georgian Landing eyesore have reason to be hopeful this morning. Those involved in our community’s affordable housing and taxation conversations may have some questions.

Before we get to that, contributor Jen Shaw shares a behind-the-scenes peek at what’s been happening across rural Grey and Bruce. I so enjoy her writing and unique perspective on our corner of the world. Grab a coffee and get comfy.
