Owen Sound's mayor and council are involved in taking care of our community by listening to residents and making decisions based on everyone's best interest. It is Council's role to abide by the City's vision, goals and objectives.
Our city council is made up of a mayor, deputy mayor, and seven councillors, all elected at large. The deputy mayor also represents city council and ratepayers at Grey County Council meetings.

It's an honour and a privilege, as Mayor of the City of Owen Sound, to welcome you to our beautiful City. Tucked into a scenic valley on the Niagara Escarpment and along the shore of Georgian Bay, Owen Sound is the home to festivals, sports facilities, indoor and outdoor events, scenic parks, and cultural experiences. Our downtown offers a unique blend of shops, boutiques, coffee bars and restaurants. Our historic Carnegie Library and Tom Thomson Art Gallery are in the heart of downtown. We wish to keep residents, visitors and business leaders informed through our website and social media of our latest news, notices, and services in our community. If you are seeking economic or business development information, or wishing to review reports for a Committee, or minutes from our Council meetings, you can find it here. I encourage you to browse our website, come and visit us, and you will discover that Owen Sound is where you want to live! Sincerely,
Ian Boddy
