Owen Sound Attack fought a hard game last night and gave it up 5-4 to London Knights in overtime. But it was the Bruce County Bucks who stole the show in the second intermission, with an exciting full-ice battle that ended with a Howitzer to the top shelf in the final seconds. The Bucks are led by Program Director and former NHL player Theo Peckham and play in the U9 Klevr Superleague. - submitted by Trevor Schwandt
Between now and the New Year, we’re reflecting on issues and events that inspired community conversations this past year.
As we revisit these issues, ask yourselves (and others): how has the conversation around this issue changed? What progress have we seen? How can we continue to move this forward, together?
The next of our most-read letters to the editor came from Joel Pennington, in August:
Letter: Building a Better River District - From Scapegoats to Solutions
After facilitating a multistakeholder event a few weeks ago centred around how to improve business conditions in the River District, I wanted to share my reflections and suggestions for how to move forward together.
