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.

Harry Lumley, former NHL all-star goaltender, Stanley Cup winner, and Veznia Trophy winner, made Owen Sound his home. He was born and raised in Owen Sound, and retired here as well. Prior to his death, the community centre was renamed in his honour. It is now officially known as the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre.
