Canadian media critic Geoff Pevere had this to say about the Owen Sound film industry: “Owen Sound’s first annual Wild Lands Film Festival, held over a weekend last October, couldn’t have kicked off more aptly than it did. There is an aspect of the local experience that is at once depicted, celebrated and quietly put to task...People who had come to this gorgeous but industrially past-prime Ontario town to be nearer to nature, freer to be themselves and away from the things that otherwise distract us from imagining. These days, Owen Sound may have an unused rail station, a virtually unused bus depot and a lot of buildings that are no longer what they used to be, but it also has a surplus of artists, artisans, filmmakers, musicians and yes, people whom you can go to get your suit of medieval armour made. Dreams seem to be thriving there, and I have a very strong feeling we haven’t seen the last of them.” THE SCENIC CITY ON THE BIG SCREEN Films shot in or near Owen Sound: 1981 - Quest for Fire – scenes filmed in Lions Head Ontario 1985 – One Magic Christmas – scenes filmed in Owen Sound and Meaford 1992 – Psycho Pike scenes filmed in Sky Lake in Wiarton Ontario 1996 -

  • Hello Georgian Bay Community Members, for the 2020-2021 Swim
    Hello Georgian Bay Community Members, For the 2020-2021 swim season the Collingwood Clippers Swim Club is reaching out to local businesses and organizations to gain sponsorships, that will ensure our ability to continue providing our local youth with the opportunity to pursue competitive and recreational swimming excellence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our Club has encountered setbacks, but we are excited to say that we are in the process of bouncing back and we are looking for support from our community to continue on stronger than ever. The Collingwood Clippers Swim Club (formerly Collingwood Y Clippers) have been teaching and coaching competitive swimming to the youth of Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, Blue Mountain and surrounding areas since 1985. The Club started as an entry level developmental swim program and has subsequently evolved into a strong, competitive Swim Club. In recent years, CCSC has continued to produce competitive swimmers that excel at the Regional, Provincial, National and International levels of competition, winning medals and placing within the top 8 at competitions. We have been extremely effective in developing our swimmers and breaking club records. Over the past 3 season our swimmers have broken 28 female short course club records, 43 male short course club records, 33 female long course club records and 40 male long course club records for a grand total of 144 club records! Please see below for some of our Swim Meet and Championship highlight achievements over the past two seasons. • 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships - CCSC had 3 swimmers compete at 2019 Eastern Canadian Championships (Canadian National level swim meet) in Quebec City, QC.

  • Trends and Analysis Summary
    Trends and Analysis Summary County of Grey Housing and Homelessness Plan 2014-2024 Introduction The County of Grey is developing a 10 year Housing and Homelessness Plan. The plan is required under the Housing Services Act, 2011 and the Ontario Housing Policy Statement. The Housing Services Act, 2011 requires the plan include an assessment of current and future housing needs in the service area. This brief assessment provides an overview of population characteristics and trends, examines the current state of housing in the County, housing assets, housing needs and housing affordability. This report outlines an environmental scan of the indicators that identify why a housing and homelessness plan is needed for our community and the level of need in the community The information was gathered from a number of documents and reports such as: Grey County Housing Study 2010 Socio Economic and Housing Trends Analysis Report, Housing Services Corporation Statistics Canada HHRC data Profiles, Services Canada United Way 2011 Hunger Report: Hunger Games The report also generates information from various informal statistics gathered from our community partners and programs. Page 2 General Population Indicators The sustainability of a community depends on it’s ability to support all residents in terms of providing various housing types, opportunities and price ranges. Appropriate, affordable and safe housing is key to a thriving community, lack of affordable housing limits economic opportunities and can lead to substandard living conditions. Population Growth The County of Grey consists of nine local municipalities; City of Owen Sound, Township of Georgian Bluffs, Township of Chatsworth, Municipality of Meaford, Municipality of Grey Highlands, Municipality of West Grey, Township of Southgate, Town of Hanover and the Town of The Blue Mountains.

  • My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots
    My Journey: Finding My Grey County Roots Nancy M. Lee When I began my quest to find my family’s history many years ago, I had no idea that I was directly descended from two old farmers from Grey County, Ontario. In the summer of 2007 I discovered a small notebook in my late cousin’s effects that had originally belonged to my paternal great grandfather, James Albert Leraine Miller, which shed the first glimmer of light on where branches of my family may have settled during the mid-1800s. The notebook had the names plus dates of birth of the children and grandchildren of my paternal great grandparents. James Miller was the father of my father’s mother, Adelene Bertha Miller. In James’ own handwriting, he wrote that he was born in Owen Sound on Feb 18, 1866. Up until then I knew next to nothing about James, and I spent the rest of that year trying in vain to find out more about him and his connection to Owen Sound. The following summer, in August 2008, my husband and I ventured up to the Owen Sound Emancipation Celebration Picnic for the very first time. I had a picture of my great grandfather, James A.L. Miller, and the knowledge which I had gained from the little notebook, as well as the 1871 Canadian Census,1 that he was the son of Margaret and Henry Miller. I went to the registration desk and asked if anyone knew anything about the Miller family. I was then introduced to a gentleman who was descended from Thomas Henry Miller, the co-founder of this Emancipation Celebration.
