Not sure where to really post this so thought I would try here.

How is the house rental market in Owen sound ? Looking on marketplace and Kijiji and there are barely any houses for rent.

How is the house rental market in the area, availability, pricing ?

Hello people of Owen Sound!

I write to you in need of help! My friend 37(f) lives in Owen Sound, her birthday is coming up and I want to send her for some sort of relaxing experience to celebrate as I won’t be able to be with her I would like it to be a nice spot she can relax; maybe somewhere with saunas and hot tubs type thing? I found the salt cave Kokoro and that seemed to be something considering but it does seem shut down currently. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Went for a walk in my neighborhood. Haven't seen much yet. Someone put a bunch of garbage out for people to look at and old prescription drugs.

Anyone find anything good?

At Owen Sound Council this Monday, I spoke with Ray Botten as he was preparing to put his name forward for mayor.

Botten said his campaign is focused on raising public awareness about what he described as drug trafficking and drug cartel activity in Owen Sound. He said his motivation is simple: to help save lives.

Been calling around and no one seems to have it or if they know someone who can get it its by special order and in large quantities. Frustrating. That and Divers scallops. Impossible to find. Howells in Wiarton can order them but its only on a specific day and when they're out they're out. Also canoe cut bone marrow? All I've seen is soup bones 😭 I mean they work-ish but its annoying.

Where can I bring cardboard for recycling? I’ve read through the site descriptions for Miller’s and on the Owen Sound waste collection pages and not seeing any references to drop off locations. Thanks!

Small stock, big question: Does anyone know where you can get boneless lamb or goat in town?

Forced to make my own curry since PK's closed.

*Edit: Ideally Goat since I assume its cheaper.

Hope to see some of you out there! We need to be in the streets, in insane numbers, for *everything* - housing, healthcare, education, cost of living, **EVERYTHING**.. so, let's get out there and start making some gods damned noise! Doug Ford needs to go!
