Earlier this week, we asked readers which issues mattered most to you in this upcoming municipal election.

Taxes and affordability are on the minds of most respondents, with 38% identifying this as their top concern.

Housing and development came second (31%), with policing and safety also registering as most concerning to 16%. Thirteen percent chose roads and infrastructure and just 2% are most focused on Owen Sound’s recreation and community services.

A reader also wrote in that climate change is the top local issue for them.

Thank you for participating! Your input — and the understanding it gives us of what matters most to this community — helps inform our own focus here at the Owen Sound Current.

Full subscribers: we have another poll just for you below, under Local News.
