One of two options for TTAG expansion presented to City Council by Diamond Schmitt on March 11, 2024.

This article from Owen Sound Police gets top billing today simply because I enjoyed the writing and hope you do, too.

Although the subject is no laughing matter, we can appreciate a bit of levity now and again in the way the story is told.

(Sidenote: When articles are marked “MEDIA RELEASE” at the top, they appear in the Owen Sound Current exactly as we’ve received them from police, government agencies, community groups, and other organizations.)
