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.

In May of 2004, the City of Owen Sound sent out a request to its Elementary School children to select a Native Flower to represent the City. The simple and elegant Red Trillium, found in the rich woods of Owen Sound in Spring time, now resides as Owen Sound’s Official Native Flower.
