City of Owen Sound

Owen Sound

We’ve been called a lot of things. A cultural capital of Canada. A Communities in Bloom award winner. A Winterlights champion. One of the top five places in the country to retire And then there’s our own moniker, “The Scenic City,” reflecting our geographic niche at the foot of the Niagara Escarpment, in a river valley hugging the shores of clean, clear Georgian Bay.

Did you know?

Owen Sound is the 7th snowiest city in Canada, according to the book "The Day Niagara Falls Ran Dry: Canadian Weather Facts and Trivia," by David Phillips. We get about 340 centimetres of the white stuff each year, making the city a perfect vacation spot for winter activities.
