Four Owen Sound businesses will be taking part in a Downtown BookWalk – a new initiative that’s part of I Read Canadian Day on Wednesday that will also honour Black History Month in February.
Story panels, featuring excerpts from Bonita Johnson de Matteis’ book Going North, will be displayed in storefront windows, so families can safely participate in the event outside while maintaining physical distancing, according to a news release from The Ginger Press.

The Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library has extended the term of the city’s poet laureate Richard-Yves Sitoski, who is set to launch his legacy project Tuesday.
The library board approved the one-year extension late last month “in recognition of both the current challenges involved in presenting public performances” and Sitoski’s “exemplary work as poet laureate,” a position he’s held since Oct. 1, 2019.
