Our Community Calendar covers Grey & Bruce Counties. It’s a large area, so if we missed an event we are sorry, we will do better next time!

Our Community Calendar was getting a bit too enthusiastic. Turns out stuffing a week’s worth of local fun into one email makes for a very long scroll.

So we’ve given it its own space! Click the button below to check out the full lineup of events this week.

The River District’s Smoky Secret While the summer tourists flock to the waterfront, the locals in Owen Sound know the real flavour is happening a few blocks away at The Yard. Tucked into the River District, this spot has quietly become the go-to for serious BBQ without the pretence.

They focus on one thing and do it exceptionally well: low-and-slow smoked meats. It’s unpretentious, family-run, and offers the kind of hearty, stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that gets us through a Grey-Bruce winter. If you haven't been yet, you are missing out on a true local heavyweight.

The Ultimate Toboggan Hill If you want to feel like a kid again this weekend, skip the expensive ski lift tickets and head to Allan Park near Hanover instead.

Tucked away on a back road, this spot is home to what locals arguably consider the best toboggan hill in the region. It’s steep, wide, and fast—perfect for thrill-seekers or families looking to burn off some energy. If hurtling down a hill isn’t your speed, the park also maintains over 16km of cross-country ski and snowshoe trails that wind through a stunning (and quiet) winter forest.

It’s simple, free, and exactly how winter in Grey-Bruce is meant to be enjoyed.
