Earth Hour in Owen Sound

March 30, 2008

I had a chance to drop by City Hall/the Owen Sound Farmers Market last night to check out the Earth Hour Festivities. For some of the details on Earth Hour you can check out our previous post here. There was a good turnout at the event and more than a couple positive messages, including conservation of energy, the idea of community(and what it really means as we move forward as a population…) and some tough words against waste (in this case waste = light pollution, unnecessary/excessive lighting that apparently accounts for over a billion dollars annually and provides little to no useful service to society.

This latter point was made by the the Bruce County Astronomical Society, whose members were on site last night sharing telescopic views of the night sky and a message of hope/support for energy conservation, especially as it contributes to dark skies. More info about the Bruce County Astronomical Society can be found on the groups website and blog (includes photos form last nights event)

The Corbet Foundry Demolition

August 24, 2007

Earlier in the week we covered the Corbet Foundry fire. Since that time 1st Ave West between 10th and 11th has remained closed and under police supervision. At around 4:00 this afternoon demolition began as the structure was obviously deemed unsafe and unworthy of restoration efforts.

There is likely more story to be told here but it’s late on Friday and I’m tired so the images and video will have to suffice. If Adam where here you would likely get a better story but he’s currently en route to Kentucky as an embedded reporter traveling with the Brian Moniz Band.

Look for updates on that story over the weekend.
