Plus: Pet-friendly outdoor adventures to enjoy in the off-season; former OS Attack player reportedly charged with manslaughter in accidental on-ice death

Community columnist Britt Kascjak writes, “With the arrival of colder temperatures and even, dare I say it, freezing rain, many pet lovers may be wondering if it’s officially time to hang up their adventure gear. However, there are still many beautiful places to explore during the off-season.”

Britt and her husband, John, moved to Owen Sound with their three dogs Daviana, Indiana, and Lucifer, in 2021. As a freelance writer who works fully remote, Britt has enjoyed exploring her new hometown and sharing her adventures online.

In her column ‘Off-Season Adventures for Owen Sound Pet Lovers,’ Britt shares beautiful places to explore nearby with the whole family. Check it out on our website.
