Throw it away? No way! The Repair Cafe welcomes broken lamps, leaky stuffies and any other items you want to keep out of landfill and bring back to life! This Saturday from 1 to 4 at the Owen Sound Library. See more events below.

We have two opinion pieces for all subscribers this morning. The first is contributor Cathy Hird’s latest ‘Between Our Steps’ column, in which she shares a look back at a summer that’s passing us by too quickly.

The next is an editorial by yours truly.

Grab your beverage of choice and get comfortable. We have much to talk about.

Full subscribers - read on for news and updates from Grey Bruce Public Health, the Owen Sound Library, Georgian College, Grey Bruce OPP, Owen Sound Attack, and more.
