Planning DivisionAnn Balaban, Manager, Planning and Heritage [email protected] City of Owen Sound Planning Division is a small group of professionals who provide customer service to residents, developers, builders and other regarding the ongoing development of our City. We work closely with other City Departments to ensure that the land use goals and vision of Council and the community are attained.
The Planning Division has two primary functions - to formulate policy that guides the development of our City as well as to process applications for new development.
Policy direction to stakeholders is provided through the City’s Official Plan which was reviewed and updated in 2012 and is a general outline of what type of land use should take place and where development should occur.
The main implementation tool used by the Planning Division is the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, which was updated and approved in 2010. The Zoning By-law implements the Official Plan by establishing specific land uses
and regulations pertaining to those land uses.In terms of application review, we evaluate each new
development application on its merits and compliance with applicable laws.
Our team is here to serve you with any land use questions that you may have. Stop by the Planning Division to obtain information relating to:• Land Use, including development plans• Official Plan designation and policy• Zoning of your property - uses permitted and relevant site and
building regulations (ie. setbacks and parking)• Site Plan, Plans of Subdivision and Condominium applications
and approvals• Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments, Consents and
Minor Variances• Community Improvement Plan including Facade and Structural
Improvement Program.To obtain more information and to find out “What’s New”, visit us online @ www.owensound.ca/planning
Heritage ProgramsSandra Parks, Heritage Planning Co-ordinator [email protected] Planning Division is also responsible for Heritage Programs within the City. The Heritage Co-ordinator can provide you with information regarding the properties that are listed on the Heritage Register and Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The City’s Strategic Plan suggests the City should advocate preservation of significant buildings, structures and natural heritage, preserving and celebrating its unique history through architectural preservation and historical interpretation.Programs: • Heritage Register: An inventory of properties of cultural
heritage value or interest. Currently contains 150 listings. Take a virtual tour online.
• Designated Properties: To date 32 properties have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
• Heritage Permits: For alterations to designated properties. • Façade & Structural Improvement Program: A grant
program that encourages restoration and rehabilitation of downtown store fronts and designated buildings.
• Heritage Property Tax Relief Program: Provides Tax Refunds to eligible designated property owners who wish to opt into the program.
• Interpretive Plaque Program: The Interpretive Plaque program began in 1998; to date 46 plaques have been placed around the City. Take a virtual tour online.
• Interpretive Walking Tours: Historic Walking/Biking Tour brochures available at the Visitor Centre or City Hall.

www.owensoundpolice.com
While we at the Owen Sound Police Service continue to ensure the safety of our 22,000 residents, thousands of yearly visitors, 8,900 households and 133 kilometers of roadways, we also enjoy working closely with and being a proud part of our community.
The 97 employees of the Owen Sound Police Service many of whom live and raise our families in Owen Sound enjoy giving back and going above our “job descriptions”. Our members are not only active in various community groups and coaching local sports teams they also give back to numerous Charitable Organizations through the Canadian Cancer Society, Special Olympics, Law Enforcement Torch Run, Alzheimer’s Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Heart and Stroke Society to name a few.
The Owen Sound Police Service, while being one of the most proactive police services in the province for its size, continues to expand not only the enforcement and investigative side of policing but also just as importantly focuses on education and crime prevention. With the assistance of provincial grants and the dedication of
personnel, the Owen Sound Police Service ensures that every student in Owen Sound is offered structured and interactive safety lessons. The Owen Sound Police have launched the new “Safe Driving Education” initiative which educates every high school student and other community stakeholders in the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. Students have the opportunity to try our many interactive displays designed to demonstrate how much the use of cell phones, iPods, drugs and alcohol will have on their abilities to safely operate a motor vehicle.

community events and fundraisers, or as a member of our Auxiliary Police Unit we are completely indebted to all of these wonderful volunteers that give so freely of their time.

Welcome to the Tom Thomson Art Gallery
There’s always something going on at the TOM! Experience what’s made history and what’s happening now in Canadian art, along with hands-on opportunities to engage with the world of art-making. Whether it’s peaceful contemplation or a challenge to the way you see the world, the Tom Thomson Art Gallery has something to excite the maverick in you.
The Tom Thomson Art Gallery is a regional public gallery and national cultural attraction with a top-notch, revolving program of contemporary and historical exhibitions, lectures, forums, films, concerts and workshops. A dynamic place where artists and audiences meet and flourish, the Gallery provides visitors with enriching experiences through art.
An ambitious program of exhibitions by local, Canadian and international artists makes the Tom Thomson Art Gallery a destination point to experience the ever-changing world of contemporary art. Enjoy new artistic media like video, sound, performance and installation works, alongside traditional fine arts such as painting, sculpture and craft, in exhibitions that showcase current trends in visual art. Exhibitions are accompanied by informative materials and tours are conducted by trained guides —all designed to bring a new dimension to visitors’ enjoyment and appreciation of art and its creation.
Established in 1967, the Gallery is named for the iconic Canadian landscape artist Tom Thomson (1877-1917) and houses one of Canada’s largest collections of his work. Thomson, who grew up in the Owen Sound
area, was a maverick, a break-away artist who fused a passion for the wilderness with a new style of skillful and experimental painting; he inspired the formation of the Group of Seven through his transformative portrayal of the natural world.
Canadian Spirit 2014 If It Wasn’t for the WarCanadian Spirit is an annual, year-long collaborative project initiated by The TOM in 2012. This year’s Canadian Spirit project will consist of exhibitions, community garden projects, cooking and canning classes, performances, talks, walks, films, hands on activities and other events bringing together people to explore, celebrate and connect with Thomson and his legacy. Check the website for events at www.tomthomson.org
Canadian Spirit 2014 As well as the important anniversaries of the wars and battles, we are encouraging our partners to consider all the things that came out of these events, particularly, The Great War, that illustrate our “Canadian Spirit”. For example, Canada established its sense of national identity, women got the vote, and the Canadian National Railway was completed. There is much to celebrate and a myriad of stories to tell across our great country. Canadian Spirit encourages us to do so. We will also be creating a series of community “Victory Gardens” in recognition of the 100th Anniversary of World War One and the 75th Anniversary of World War Two. Various community groups and businesses will be engaged to plant, maintain and harvest these gardens with the intentions of the gardens providing fresh produce to festival vendors as well as benefitting local groups like OSHARE, The Salvation Army, CMHA and the United Way. As such Canadian Spirit 2014 presents a multi-layered, many-faceted opportunity to explore and discover Thomson, and his legacy, in a way never before presented.

The Canadian Spirit Festival is one of the main events of the Canadian Spirit project. This annual, multi-arts Festival will include an expanded culinary arena in 2014 called Homegrown. The ethos behind Homegrown is just as the name implies...all things homegrown and local. The TOM is pleased to be partnering with the Grey County Chef’s Forum for Homegrown activities. From culinary bistro vendors, to craft beer, wine and spirits, to a farmers’ market, cooking demonstrations featuring talented local chefs, musicians and entertainers, Homegrown will celebrate the taste of our region.
Canadian Spirit continues through to Canadian Spirit 2017: Someday they will know what I mean... marking the 100th anniversary of Thomson’s death and the 150th anniversary of Canada and which will focus on ideas and issues around Canadian identity, its past and its evolution. The Canadian Spirit series will balance the honour owed to the past with the needs of the present, while always looking forward to the future. Works by Tom Thomson and his contemporaries will be on view during our CANADIAN SPIRIT: The Tom Thomson Experience exhibition. Paintings, memorabilia and archival images offer an insightful look at Thomson, ranging from his early life in Owen Sound to his untimely death at Canoe Lake in 1917. Thomson is truly one of Canada’s most influential artists of the 20th century and a true Canadian hero!
Programs and educationLively and stimulating programs for all ages foster an appreciation of contemporary art and culture. Adults, teens and children can participate in an array of learning opportunities including art classes, school programs, workshops, and other art activities.

The Marine & Rail Museum is located in the historic CN Rail Station on Owen Sound’s harbourfront. It was established in 1978 by a volunteer group of history enthusiasts and saved by another group of volunteers in 2014. The Museum preserves Owen Sound’s history as a thriving port. It focuses on our marine, rail and industrial era.
Travel back in time to Owen Sound’s industrial past and enjoy the artifacts, scale models, archival photos and interactive stations throughout the Museum. The Museum showcases exquisite ship models made by skilled artisans along with CNR and CPR memorabilia. Ask to see the working model railroad or, if you’re there at 12:00 or 5:00 pm Monday to Saturday, enjoy the sound of the historic Kennedy Foundry whistle.
The Museum is wheelchair accessible and has free parking beside the beautifully landscaped walkway along the harbour. Tours and group rates can be arranged. Admission is by donation.

Recreation and Parks
From the desk of the Director of Community ServicesI am pleased to introduce the 2014 Community Guide.
We have organized the information into 3 main sections: City Services; Arts and Culture; and Recreation and Parks. I
hope that you enjoy the new format of the Guide and find it easy to use.
The guide is filled with ways to be active and healthy this summer.
The Kiwanis Club of Owen Sound have generously supported a new Skate and Bike Park at Victoria Park. We look forward to putting the finishing touches on the park this spring and to enjoying a summer filled with bikes, scooters and skateboards! Late in 2013, we completed trail upgrades at Stoney Orchard Park on the City’s east side in co-operation with the Tom Thomson Trail Group. This trail offers some of the best views of the Owen’s Sound on Georgian Bay. Access the trail off of 9th Ave at the end of 23rd Street East and enjoy a hike.
The City is pleased to be partnering with Owen Sound Minor Soccer and Keith Mason to present 2 fun filled weeks of soccer camp at the Kiwanis Soccer Complex. Check out the Summer Hockey Skills and Powerskating camps and keep your skills sharp for next season. Registration details are in this guide or you can find them at www.owensound.ca. Just want to skate this summer – each week there are opportunities for public skating or book an hour of Last Minute Ice and enjoy a cool game of shinny with your friends.
The Tall Ship Liana’s Ransom, an 85-foot topsail schooner is returning to Owen Sound on Canada Day weekend (June 28 - July 1), offering 90-minute excursions on Owen Sound Bay. Excursion tickets are now available in person at the Roxy Theatre Box Office, or online at www.roxytheatre.ca.
The crew dresses in period costume similar to the outfits worn by pirates and privateers of old. During the excursions, passengers are entertained by tales of pirate adventures, with crew members swinging on ropes over the water. Passengers even have the opportunity to fire the ship’s authentic scale model cannons. After enjoying a cruise, plan to take in the annual fireworks display at Kelso Beach Park or enjoy the fireworks from a special fireworks cruise. Plan to make 2014 a memorable Canada Day with your friends and family.
There are many ways for you to Celebrate Summer in Owen Sound from Friday night Music and Movies to Sunday Harbour Nights Concerts to free swims at Harrison Park Pool. All the details about these and many other opportunities can be found in this guide.

CampgroundsOwen Sound boasts two campgrounds within the heart of the City. Whether you want to experience an outdoor weekend retreat, have friends visiting or are hosting a local tournament, the Harrison Park Campground or Kelso Park Campground offer accommodations close to all amenities.
Owen Sound Trails NetworkSituated in a dynamic outdoor playground, the City of Owen Sound is proud to be home to some of the area’s most elaborate trail systems. Trail users can enjoy the sunsets from trail routes along the shores of the bay or the quiet strolls along the harbour walkway. Harrison Park offers trail goers a diverse selection of both hard surfaced and natural earthen trails extending into the vast Grey Sauble Conservation land leading to the ever popular Inglis Falls. The Tom Thomson rail trail provides outdoor enthusiasts with a well maintained portion along the City’s east shore. For those that like to explore, there are four gorgeous waterfalls in close proximity to the city, all accessible by trail and waiting for the adventure seeker. For more information, visit www.owensound.ca/trails
Stoney Orchard Park trail improvementsThis section of the Owen Sound Trail Network offers a great vista of Owen Sound Harbour and runners and hikers may notice some new changes. Last year, in co-operation with the Tom Thomson Trail Group, improvements to the existing trail were completed. Users will notice the trail has been re-routed in a few sections, tree branches trimmed, and a new stone base installed. The trail will also feature new directional signage in the near future.

Emerald Ash Borer Alert (EAB)Ash trees are a significant species in the City’s urban forest, which includes trees on private as well as public lands within the City. Like many Ontario municipalities, Owen Sound faces a threat to its Ash tree population. The exotic, invasive insect pest Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has infested many Ash trees throughout Southern Ontario.
In the spring of 2014, with the potential threat of this pest, Owen Sound City Council approved the Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan to reduce and mitigate the impact of EAB. The first step in the EAB Management Plan is a complete inventory and assessment of the City’s Ash trees, to better understand the true management

Swimming Lessons
Swimming Lessons (Harrison Park Pools)
• There is a Team Leader on duty during swimming lessons. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s lesson, please feel free to approach the Team Leader on the pool deck.
• Our Swimming Instructors are also certified lifeguards! They have gone through approximately 1000 hours of training to become certified with the National Lifeguard Service Award, and the YMCA and Lifesaving Society Swimming Instructor award.
• We have lesson guards on duty during all swimming lessons as an ‘extra set of eyes’.
Is This Your Child’s First Time in Swimming Lessons? Please feel free to bring your child for a tour of the pools and change rooms to familiarize them with the facility.
Showers and Access to the Pool: All swimmers must shower with soap before entering the pool as per Ontario Health Regulations. Please note that footwear is not allowed on the pool deck. Entrance to the pool is through the change rooms past the shower area. If your child requires assistance after the lesson, please meet him/her at the entrance. Staff will not let the child leave the pool deck until the parent/guardian arrives.
First Day of Lessons: Please read the Swim Level Descriptions prior to registering to ensure your child is enrolled in the correct level. You may go to the change room 5 minutes before your child’s lesson is scheduled to begin. Swim classes meet on the pool deck at the start time of the lesson. Please make sure your child knows the swim level he/she is enrolled in. Parents may accompany children to the pool deck before the first lesson to meet the instructor.
Parent Participation Day: To find out how your child is progressing, parents are invited to participate in the pool with their child (1 adult per child please) for one lesson! Classes
will end 5-10 minutes early these days to give you a chance to speak to your child’s Instructor about their progress. If you do not wish to go in the pool, take the time after class to find out how your child is progressing. Please let our Team Leader know of any concerns you may have as they come up. Bare feet only on deck please! Dates for Parent Participation Day are as follows:
Harrison Park: Session 1: July 11 Session 2: July 25 Again and Again….Each swimming level has a certain number of items that must be performed correctly a minimum of 3 times in order for that item to be complete (according to the standards set by YMCA Canada and the Lifesaving Society.) If a child is unable to complete all of the items during a session, we view this as an “incomplete”, not a failure. Swimming skills have still been learned but more practice is required. It is not unusual to repeat the same swim level several times before mastering the necessary skills and acquiring the endurance that is necessary.
Rainy Days at Harrison Park: Lessons will NOT be cancelled. If there is a thunder storm, children will be removed from the pool area and water safety will be reviewed inside.
Lost and Found: Please leave all valuables at home. You can store all of your belongings in the tote baskets available at the front entrance during lesson times. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Lost and found items will be kept for two weeks in the tote room and then donated to charity.
Refund Policy for all Swimming Lessons: Fees are refundable prior to start date of first class. Refunds will not be given on or after the start of the program except for medical reasons. Medical reasons require a doctor’s note. A service charge of $10.00 is applicable to every refund.
Harrison Park Swimming Lesson Registration: Registration begins Monday April 28 at 7am at the Family Y. You do not need to be a Y member to partake in lessons. Registrations must be made in person. Full payment is due at time of registration. Proof of residency is required.
Non-Residents: Swimmers who have a 2014 Non-Resident Card for Minor Sports do not have to purchase another card. If you are not a resident of Owen Sound, the fee payable to the City for a Non-Resident Card is 40% of your Harrison Park swimming registration fee. You may purchase your Non-Resident Card at City Hall. Please present your card at time of program registration.

Seniors Activities & Services
Owen Sound’s vision is to be a community of choice for all, distinguishable by its authenticity, natural amenities, diversity and community spirit. This spirit is exemplified by the many seniors who volunteer throughout the year for various local organizations. Helping serve breakfast to young school children, raising funds for needed medical equipment or repairing displays for the Festival of Northern Lights, seniors are one of our most valuable resources.

Owen Sound... where you want to live!
Celebrating 50 years of Service 1964 - 2014
Since being chartered in February 1964, the members of this service club have worked hard to contribute to the community in numerous ways. From supplying playground equipment, to helping provide family swimming and skating programs, summer camp experiences for children, buying much needed items for those in need through crisis programs and donations to the local hospital, Comm-r-ettes keep busy raising funds towards many goals.
A sense of fun is important in fundraising as is evidenced by the smiles on the faces of the club’s supporters who attend the yearly yard sale held in early June!
Current Club Executive:L to R: Mary Morris, Treasurer; Rena McKibbon, Secretary; Pam Furness, Vice-President; Sheila Clark, President; Wally Nelson, Past President
Club membership generally stands at about 20 members, all of whom show a great deal of diligence in their commitment to serve others.
The Club meets monthly except for July and August. In September, plans are formulated for the upcoming fiscal year.
Proud of their length of service in Owen Sound and area, members continually strive to live up to their creed which states in part “service to humanity is the best work of life”.
For further information regarding Comm-r-ettes, write to Box 224, Owen Sound, N4K 5P3
