Welcome back!
We hope you had a safe and restful long weekend. Of course, it’s not a holiday for everyone. If you were among those who continued working to keep healthcare, restaurants, emergency services, retail and other businesses running – thank you!
We’ve received a few letters to the editor in response to Anne Dondertman’s June 26 submission on the decline of our downtown core.
Here’s the first, and keep them coming. You can submit your letter to the editor at owensoundcurrenteditor@gmail.com. Ideas and suggestions to continue the conversation are welcome.
In local news updates, we have coverage of a fire and death investigation, charges for a local man after a knife attack downtown, an urgent plea for foster homes, and more.
For local events, you have your choice of open mic night, drawing classes, charity golf, an iconic craft show, bike rides and even a local performance by the Estonian National Radio Mixed Choir. Phew! Summer is here, take it all in.
