This month, our local food reviewer weighs in on Owen Sound’s downtown Chinese food options — comparing old favourite Channing Chinese Restaurant with newer arrival Panda Garden.

New: Obituaries Now Included in Owen Sound Current

It’s not something most of us like to dwell on, but it is something many of you have asked for. Starting this week, we’re launching a new segment for full subscribers: local obituaries. These will appear twice a week in your news brief, alongside our regular news coverage.

As with all our curated events and news content, each listing will include a link to the original source, so you can find what you need in one place while still verifying the information at its origin. It’s a small but meaningful addition to our local coverage, and one we’re committed to doing with care.
