| Known as The Scenic City, Owen Sound is a harbour town with a heritage tied to the commerce and culture of the Great Lakes. Its natural setting features the limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment, valleys and waterfalls, beaches and parks. Being both the gateway to cottage country and in the heart of Ontario's beef, apple and corn region, farming and tourism are still integral parts of the local economy. Owen Sound offers shopping, health and educational services to visitors, residents, and the surrounding area.
