To help inform you about some of the perspectives of candidates running for mayor and council in the upcoming municipal election, Bayshore Broadcasting News sent a few questions to all those seeking office in municipalities across Grey and Bruce counties.
In Owen Sound, candidates were asked:
- Why are you running?
- Are there any steps municipalities can take to ease cost of living concerns? If so, what measures would you support?
- What are your ideas for economic development in your municipality?
- Do you think the municipality has a role to play in the recruitment and retention of physicians and other healthcare workers?
- What steps could municipalities take to help get more housing built that you support?
- Should the city do more to regulate short-term rentals, such as AirBNBs?
You can review the answers provided by candidates in Owen Sound below by clicking on their names.
Owen Sound council candidates Jasmine Schnarr and Michelle Tompkins did not submit responses to this questionnaire prior to publication deadline.
