It’s a week of homecoming celebrations in Owen Sound.

Longtime CBC News host Heather Hiscox will bring her Morning Live Across Canada farewell tour to Owen Sound City Hall this morning, marking the final stop before her last appearance on CBC News Network next month.

Ahead of the broadcast, The Owen Sound Current sat down with Hiscox for an exclusive interview about her early days at CFOS, the power of local radio, and how community storytelling shaped a lifetime in journalism.
