Excess snow removal operations will begin in Owen Sound’s downtown River District area tomorrow, Wednesday, January 15, at 8 p.m. The work is expected to be completed by early Thursday morning.
City staff will remove excess snow and accumulated piles to improve safety and accessibility for vehicles and pedestrians. This removal is above and beyond the usual winter maintenance of plowing streets and sidewalks.
