Operating Budget Book: 2023

Operational Highlights: Service Improvements & Continuations Late 2022 saw Owen Sound get hit with two severe winter storms; one midNovember, and one in late December. Owen Sound has a unique topography, which makes it a beautiful place to live and play, but with approximately 282 lane kilometres of streets and 105 kilometres of sidewalks, winter weather can also cause havoc when it comes to winter control operations. Although the winter storms at the end of 2022 provided a “one-two-punch” and caused significant road closures throughout Grey County, the Owen Sound winter maintenance team did not have to close any roads while operating a cost-effective “lean” winter fleet across three shifts that work 24/7.
