Owen Sound’s City facilities previously closed will re-open to the public. Restrictions at the Harrison Park Good Cheer Rink have also been eased.

Kincardine municipal staff advise the proposed re-opening date for the pool, health club and programs including fitness classes and pickleball is Feb. 22.

For now, community centres and arenas in Georgian Bluffs remain closed, but the Township says opening plans will be announced in the near future.
Georgian Bluffs will lift its suspension of garbage bag tags as of March 1. After that date, they will be required again for curbside pick-up of waste.
