The following letter from Tom Thomson Art Gallery Board Chair Linda Myles-Gallinger concerning purchasing the old Courthouse is on the agenda of the regular meeting of City Council on Monday, May 2.

Mitchell Hendry is a grade 12 student at OSCVI who made a deputation Wednesday at the special meeting of the Owen Sound city council. The meeting was called to discuss the Bluewater District School Board's recent decision to amalgamate the two local high schools, temporarily using West Hill Secondary for both student populations. The full text of the deputation can be found below.
