Mayor's Message |
||||
I want to thank all members of our Owen Sound community for your understanding and compassion in these trying times. Many of the facilities, services and stores that are important to us are closed, and activities that have kept us occupied and entertained are on hold for now. City staff and contractors will continue to maintain the critical functions including water, wastewater, winter road maintenance, garbage pickup, transit, police and fire. We are monitoring events provincially and locally. In consultation with medical officials there may be further steps taken to protect city staff and residents. I encourage everyone to practice social distancing, avoid large groups of people, and wash your hands often. Please continue to show compassion and understanding to each other. Thanks. Mayor Ian Boddy |
