Owen Sound · Committee - Community Services · May 20, 2026

Summary

One-sentence summary: On May 20, 2026 at 5:30 PM, the Committee reviews a proposal to upgrade a building at 1199 1st Avenue East to restore architectural character and improve safety, weighing the request against shared resource allocation for aging infrastructure at the Bayshore Community Centre.

On May 20, 2026 at 5:30 PM, the Community Services Committee will consider requests to restore architectural character at the East Harbour waterfront, where public funding discussions for facade repairs at 1199 1st Avenue East aim to balance historic preservation with community safety. Simultaneously, the committee reviews the proposal to convert a hockey club shop into recovery space, weighing the financial burden of OHL mandates against the need for athlete well-being. Staff also present a policy review regarding "Bring-Your-Own" alcohol permits, acknowledging potential social harms and safety liabilities while monitoring provincial changes that may take effect on April 30, 2026. Additionally, the agenda includes a final design review for the Kelso Beach playground replacement, which shifts funds to upgrade aging infrastructure with inclusive features, and consideration of temporary public art initiatives that celebrate local culture. Participants will evaluate conditions for grant approvals, including native plant selections and tax compliance, ensuring equitable access and community health remain central to decisions regarding these shared resources.

Top Newsworthy Developments

Facade and Landscaping Improvement Grant - 1199 1st Avenue East: Owen Sound's Community Services Committee is reviewing a proposal to upgrade a mixed-use building at 1199 1st Avenue East in the historic East Harbour waterfront zone. The applicant seeks public funding to remove deteriorating fences and encroaching vegetation, replacing them with new horizontal wood fencing and a landscaped buffer featuring soil, sod, mulch, and native plantings. Additionally, the work plan includes repointing brickwork on the front and side façades and replacing three second-storey windows with gooseneck lighting to boost safety. Staff recommends a grant covering up to 50% of eligible costs, potentially totaling $17,495 for approximately $35,000 in work, sourced from a 2026 capital budget. This funding aligns with city goals to restore architectural character and improve pedestrian environments. Approval is contingent on the owner meeting tax obligations, hiring a qualified mason for brickwork, using natural or neutral-stained wood, and selecting plants from the City's native list. The Planning & Heritage Division will oversee these conditions within a one-year completion window, pending final by-law agreement and committee review of the upcoming agenda item.
Facility Bookings and Community Programs 8.d.1: The City of Owen Sound is reviewing a grant request to renovate a mixed-use building in East Harbour, with a proposed cost of $34,990 and a potential city contribution of $17,495, contingent on upcoming Council approval. The project aims to improve the waterfront district's appearance by repointing brick, updating windows, installing new lighting, and replacing deteriorated fencing with neutral-stained wood, alongside professional landscaping. Staff recommend against adopting provincial changes allowing "Bring-Your-Own" alcohol permits for local events due to public safety risks, increased liability, and operational costs without financial offset, though the province may permit bylaws on April 30, 2026. Additionally, liability concerns led to new rules at the Bayshore Community Centre prohibiting running to protect pedestrians and those with mobility issues, while a separate hockey club renovation request requires the applicant to cover all costs and provide engineering stamps. Adjacent redevelopment and proposed improvements aim to collectively enhance the street facade. The city will monitor how other jurisdictions handle the alcohol permit framework before deciding on legislative changes or public education campaigns. No decisions have been finalized regarding the grant funding or alcohol regulations yet.
Site Plan DA-26-003 - 2753 15th Street East - BGCDSB: Owen Sound approved a site plan amendment for an office addition at 2795 East Bayshore Road, though this decision appears in a document focused on a new high school project nearby. The approved proposal involves adding approximately 1,082 square metres to an existing industrial building and reconfiguring parking areas. This approval specifically amends prior Site Plan Approval File No. ST2016-002 held by Knecht & Berchtold Inc. Staff recommendations included comments from relevant agencies and the development team. The City Director, Pamela Coulter, issued the approval effective May 7, 2026, subject to conditions outlined in the accompanying staff report Schedule F. Applicants are reminded that this decision is based on the information provided during the review process, and future submissions may be required if subsequent changes occur.
Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events: Ontario officials announced on March 17, 2026, that municipalities may permit "Bring-Your-Own" alcohol at outdoor events by passing a local bylaw, with such permits taking effect April 30, 2026. Owen Sound staff report no requests have been received from organizers yet. The city, in consultation with police, fire, health, and community partners, is evaluating whether to adopt a bylaw defining eligible gatherings. Health partners warn that expanded alcohol availability creates social harms, particularly for youth, and urges strict criteria such as excluding child-frequented locations, restricting hours, banning glass, and establishing non-drinking zones. Staff highlight severe public safety risks, including potential drink tampering and increased liability without statutory protection, alongside overwhelming pressure on police and emergency services. While the province aims to boost business and tourism, the Community Services Committee recommends against passing a bylaw at this time. The upcoming agenda involves deciding if the committee will enforce safety controls like requiring trained staff and water access. Residents seeking clarity on legal drinking times are advised to contact Facilities Booking Coordinator Andy O'Leary, as misinformation remains a concern.
Bayshore Upper Concourse Use: The Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club requests City consent to convert an unused section of the Bayshore Community Centre into a maintenance shop to upgrade locker room amenities like saunas, cold tubs, and video suites. This renovation aligns with OHL standards requiring enhanced kitchens, heat therapy areas, and professional health support by 2026-27. The club intends to cover all renovation and property tax costs but currently seeks approval to avoid immediate additional payments for the new space, though this specific request remains undecided. To accommodate the club's new operations within the existing building, the City must relocate its maintenance office to a vacant area and move the Zambobi. Construction work is scheduled for the off-season to limit public disruption. Simultaneously, the OHL is finalizing a formal enforcement plan with consultant verifications to ensure arena owners meet new facility requirements for athlete retention. While the city has started foundation work on the Harbour West project and issued building permits in April 2026 valued at $1.96 million, the Attack's proposal reflects a broader push toward higher standards that will shift internal workflows and staff resources until operations are reconfigured.
Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and Splash Pad Revitalization: Community staff propose accelerating final designs for the Kelso Beach playground and splash pad at Nawash Park by June 2026 to replace twenty-five-year-old equipment and a fourteen-year-old water feature. The project shifts funding from a cancelled shade sail initiative to upgrade aging infrastructure at this Georgian Bay site, with costs shared between the City and the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer. Selected supplier Jambette designs a ramp-based, stair-free playground to ensure equitable access, while ABC Recreation will integrate new water-efficient splash features. The layout incorporates an inclusive theme rooted in the site's history with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, featuring locally manufactured climbing, swinging, and sliding structures alongside a refreshed water play area. Current budget estimates exceed available funds by nearly seventy thousand dollars; the Order has committed to covering half of this overage later, while the City seeks additional capital reserve funds for construction administration. An application for up to sixty thousand dollars in EASE Grant funds remains pending, which could support rubberized surfacing alongside wood fiber. Public engagement recently concluded with an online survey open until May 27, 2026, following an information session on May 20. Final design review occurs in June 2026, with construction tentatively planned for fall 2026 and completion expected by early summer 2027. No final decisions have been confirmed regarding funding overages or specific surfacing materials pending grant outcomes.
River District Public Art Installation by Artcures Grey Bruce: The Community Services Committee is reviewing two temporary public art proposals for Owen Sound's River District led by ArtCures Grey Bruce. The first project, titled "Peace Ribbons," involves painting over 150 trees and poles with community members between July 2 and September 30, 2026. This initiative supports the Vision 2050 goal of celebrating culture while aiming to deter graffiti by fostering local pride. A second proposal seeks approval in principle for painting murals on roughly six public utility boxes. After a vinyl wrap option was rejected as too expensive, painting was selected as a cost-effective method to beautify infrastructure. ArtCures, a volunteer collective focused on accessible creativity, will maintain both installations and handle removal after the September community art tour. Approval conditions include securing $5 million in city-named insurance, consulting park management for tree safety, and ensuring all work follows city public art policy. The River District Board previously allocated $500 to promote these banners and installations. A media release will track progress, and further details are available by contacting Viveca Gravel.
Facility Space Request: The Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club requests renovations at the Bayshore Community Centre to meet new Ontario Hockey League health and facility standards set for the 2026-27 season. These league-wide mandates require all 20 teams to install dedicated rehabilitation spaces with ice machines, heat therapy like saunas, and professional kitchen amenities by the specified deadline. The OHL also mandates weekly access to mental health experts and full-time nutritionists starting in 2025-26. The club must finance all upgrades, covering costs within the existing 10-year lease while maintaining ownership until terms change. Specific construction will include converting vacant shop spaces into recovery areas, ensuring separate ventilation, and adding recovery equipment like Normatech boots. Logistics rules now require teams to stay in minimum 3-star hotels and rest during long travel, with plans to upgrade to 4-star accommodations. A Billet Advisory Committee will oversee housing standards, while surveys will guide future improvements. Construction permits for this project align with broader city efforts in April 2026, which saw $1.96 million in reported construction value. The city will coordinate timing, likely during the off-season, to minimize disruption while implementing these compliance measures aimed at player well-being.

8.a.1 Report CS-26-036 from the Manager of Parks & Open Spaces Re: Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and Splash Pad Revitalization

Community staff propose accelerating final designs for the Kelso Beach playground and splash pad at Nawash Park by June 2026 to replace twenty-five-year-old equipment and a fourteen-year-old water feature. The project shifts funding from a cancelled shade sail initiative to upgrade aging infrastructure at this Georgian Bay site, with costs shared between the City and the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer. Selected supplier Jambette designs a ramp-based, stair-free playground to ensure equitable access, while ABC Recreation will integrate new water-efficient splash features. The layout incorporates an inclusive theme rooted in the site's history with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, featuring locally manufactured climbing, swinging, and sliding structures alongside a refreshed water play area. Current budget estimates exceed available funds by nearly seventy thousand dollars; the Order has committed to covering half of this overage later, while the City seeks additional capital reserve funds for construction administration. An application for up to sixty thousand dollars in EASE Grant funds remains pending, which could support rubberized surfacing alongside wood fiber. Public engagement recently concluded with an online survey open until May 27, 2026, following an information session on May 20. Final design review occurs in June 2026, with construction tentatively planned for fall 2026 and completion expected by early summer 2027. No final decisions have been confirmed regarding funding overages or specific surfacing materials pending grant outcomes.

THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-036 respecting the Kelso Beach
at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and Splash Pad Revitalization, the
Community Services Committee recommends that City Council:
1.

Direct staff to bring forward a report to the June 2026 Community
Services Committee meeting with the final playground and splash
pad designs; and

Increase the budget allocation for the project to cover the cost of
contract administration and construction oversight in the amount of
$69,200 and an additional $35,000 for construction (total
$104,200), funded from the Parks Capital Reserve.

Highlights:




The Kelso Beach at Nawash Park project will replace the 25-yearold playground and revitalize the 2011 splash pad to create a more
accessible, inclusive, and engaging play space for residents and
visitors of all ages and abilities.
The total project budget is $500,000, funded equally by the City of
Owen Sound and the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer (SSOGC),
with the Order’s contribution spread over five years.

Page 10 of 155



Additional capital funding in the amount of $104,200 is being
sought from the Parks Capital Reserve to support the design and
construction administration services for this capital project.
Design and preferred suppliers: Following the 2025 RFP, C. F.
Crozier and Associates Inc. (Crozier) was retained for design and
project support. For the playground, Jambette was selected as the
preferred supplier based on accessibility, ramp-based design, and
overall play value. For the splash pad, ABC Recreation is proposed
to supply compatible new features.
Public engagement and accessibility improvements: The project
includes public consultation through an online project page, survey,
and public information session, with final feedback returning to
Committee in June 2026. The City has also applied for up
to $60,000 through the Enhancing Access to Spaces for Everyone
(EASE) Grant to potentially add rubberized surfacing and further
improve accessibility.
Key milestones include the 2024 contribution agreement, designer
selection in September 2025, concept and preliminary design
through winter 2026, public engagement in spring 2026, tendering
in summer 2026, construction in fall 2026, and final
completion/commissioning in spring 2027.

Vision 2050 - Strategic Plan Alignment:
Strategic Plan Priority: City Building – Enhancing urban development,
planning and place-making processes to create places and spaces that
contribute to complete communities for existing residents, future residents
and tourists.

Previous Report/Authority:
Report CS-24-061 Re: Parks Capital Projects Update
The report outlined changes to the Parks & Open Space capital program with
a focus on investing in existing aging infrastructure before creating any noncritical new infrastructure. One of the recommendations approved was to
eliminate and reallocate the capital funding for a new shade sail to support
the proposed 2026 playground replacement capital project at Kelso Beach at
Nawash Park (26D.6). The existing playground is 25 years old, and many
components have been taken out of service due to age and condition. The
Staff Report CS-26-036: Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and
Splash Pad Revitalization
Page 2 of 10

Page 11 of 155

capital budget for the replacement of the playground at Kelso Beach at
Nawash was adjusted to $315k with the re-allocation of the $115k shade sail
project funding. It was recognized that additional capital funding would be
required to replace this highly utilized playground.
Report CS-24-106 Re: Partnership with the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer
- Kelso Beach at Nawash Park
The City entered into a contribution agreement with the Scenic City Order of
Good Cheer (SSOGC) in support of the replacement of the Kelso Beach at
Nawash Park playground and revitalization of the splash pad, with a focus on
asset renewal and utilizing existing infrastructure. The SSOGC committed a
$250,000 donation for the project, to be given in 5 annual installments of
$50,000, starting in 2025. The total capital funding for the playground
replacement and splash pad upgrade project was established at $500k, split
evenly between the City and SSOGC.

Background:
Kelso Beach at Nawash Park is located on the west shore of Owen Sound on
Georgian Bay and is 9.86 hectares in size. It is classified in the City’s Official
Plan as a “City Park” providing unique, specialized recreational facilities and
services, serving users from throughout the City and adjacent communities.
Kelso Beach at Nawash Park is a unique part in Owen Sound’s system of
parks and open spaces. It has a complex combination of active and passive
facilities and spaces – some very specialized – and is home to a number of
significant, well-attended events, including:




Summerfolk;
Canada Day; and
Keystone Family Fun Festival.

The existing playground is 25 years old and many of the components have
been taken out of service due to age and condition. The Splash Pad at Kelso
Beach at Nawash Park opened June of 2011. The City and Order of Good
Cheer had entered into a partnership agreement with the Order of Good
Cheer around this project.
In 2024, Council approved certain amendments to the capital budget for the
Parks & Open Spaces Division. This included a modification to the Kelso
Beach at Nawash Park playground capital project. In 2024, through
Staff Report CS-26-036: Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and
Splash Pad Revitalization
Page 3 of 10

Page 12 of 155

Committee, Council approved a Contribution Agreement with the Scenic City
Order of Good Cheer (SSOGC). The project budget is set at $500,000, with
equal contributions from the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer and the City.
The Order’s commitment will be made over a 5-year period.
In the fall of 2025, the City issued an RFP (25-020) for Landscape Architect
Services for concept development, public consultation, detailed design,
tender preparation and construction administration for the project. The
project was awarded to Crozier (Tim McCormick, LA, Project Lead).
Since that time, work has been underway on concept development honouring
the commitment in the Contribution Agreement around design and planning,
with the SSOGC.
Site visits have been completed with the Order, staff from the SON
Environmental Office, and a detailed topographic survey has been completed.

Analysis and Options:
Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and Splashpad
Revitalization project will replace the aging playground and revitalize the
existing water play infrastructure and components.
The design focus of the project is to:
1.

Improve accessible and connectivity between the splash pad and
playground and other existing infrastructure (Good Cheer
washroom and gazebo),

Integrate inclusive play spaces that offer all children, regardless of
ability, access to enjoy and participate in play equally,

Renew aging and beyond expected lifecycle park infrastructure with
elements that offer high play value and improve efficiency (water
usage), and

Establish supporting amenities that promote socializing and
gathering.

The project goal is to create a cohesive and vibrant recreational space that
contains dynamic playground and water play elements that celebrate the
unique historical context of the park along the shore of Georgian Bay.
The existing splash pad already supports integration, independence, and
inclusion for people of all ages and abilities, and this project will build on that
Staff Report CS-26-036: Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and
Splash Pad Revitalization
Page 4 of 10

Page 13 of 155

foundation by revitalizing key amenities to support broader participation in
outdoor recreation.
The site benefits from existing washroom/change room facilities, trails,
parking, and transit access, helping reduce physical and transportation
barriers for users and caregivers.

Project Concept Development Process for Splash Pad and
Playground
Working with the Order, one of the key decision points has been on the
allocation of resources to the 2 project elements – the splash pad and the
playground.
Splash Pad Concept
At this time, the concept being developed revitalizes the splash pad by
replacing two splash pad features with new ones that offer increased play
value and are more efficient in terms of water usage. The two new features
as outlined in the concept being developed include a twin splash bucket and
a sea silhouette fish.
Other works at the splash pad will include:
1.

Removal, cleaning and painting of the remaining splash pad
components with a theme that links to the new playground, and

Testing and optimizing the mechanical infrastructure that will
support the revitalized splash pad and.

Attachment 1 includes a rendered illustration of the splash pad concept.
The Splash pad supplier will be ABC Recreation, the original supplier of the
existing Vortex splash pad equipment that exists at the splash pad. Any
upgrade to the splash pad components is a simple integration with the
original “plug and play” type infrastructure. ABC Recreation is also part of
the Local Authority Services (LAS) Canoe Procurement Group offering
competitive pricing to members.
In the development of the current splash pad concept, ABC Recreation was
provided a budget envelope to work within and asked to establish a scope of
work. Refinement of the concept will be explored to thematically align the
splash pad revitalization with the new playground through the detail design
stage of the project.

Staff Report CS-26-036: Kelso Beach at Nawash Park Playground Replacement and
Splash Pad Revitalization
Page 5 of 10

Page 14 of 155

Playground Concept
Based on the project goal and key design considerations, three playground
companies were invited to submit layout concepts for the new playground
that fit within the defined budget envelope. The preferred concept and the
playground company that generated it will be considered the preferred
supplier for the project, and their concept will be carrier through to tender.
Proposals were received from ABC Recreation (Landscape Structures), Open
Space Solutions (Jambette) and EarthScape.
An evaluation of the concept alternatives from each of the three playground
suppliers was undertaken in collaboration with the Consultant and the Order
based on specific criteria that included: play value, physical impact,
accessibility, inclusionary play opportunities and thematic focus.
The evaluation identified the Open Space Solutions playground by Jambette
as the preferred supplier. The Jambette playground concept utilized play
equipment that does not have any stairs and utilized ramps that dramatically
improved accessibility. The play structure scale was larger, offered
inclusionary play elements and was locally manufactured in Canada.
The consultant has worked with Jambette to prepare a preferred playground
concept layout for Kelso Beach at Nawash Park. Attachment 2 includes a
rendered illustration of the playground concept.
Tim McCormick will be attending the Committee meeting and will make a
short presentation on the concept development process.
Public Engagement
Working with the Communications Advisor, a project page has been set up
for this project. The page went live on May 13th.
The page includes background on the project, a survey to obtain feedback
and illustrations with the conceptual designs.
The survey will remain open for a 2-week window until May 27, 2026.
Additionally, prior to the Committee meeting there was a Public Information
Session where members of community and stakeholders were invited to
review the concept plans and provide feedback.
The feedback will be brought back to the Committee at the June meeting
with the final design.

Enhancing Access to Spaces for Everyone (EASE) Grant
The Enhancing Access to Spaces for Everyone (EASE) Grant provides funding
for small capital projects that improve accessibility in Ontario communities
for people with disabilities and older adults. The City identified this project as
a good fit in terms of project readiness, timing, and accessibility as the City’s
applicant under the grant. The grant submission deadline was May 7, 2026.
The maximum grant funding is $60,000.
If the City were to receive funding, it is proposed that the funds would be
used to integrate accessible playground components and some rubberized
surfacing (as opposed to the engineered wood fiber) to optimize accessibility.
The surfacing would be strategically placed around the equipment to
optimize accessibility and use wood fiber in the majority of the other areas of
the playground. This would only be possible if the City is successful in
achieving the grant.

City Park Playgrounds - $520,000 or $750,000 based on existing
composition of playground components and their replacement with
similar equipment.

Community and Neighbourhood Park Playgrounds - $284,000 for a
standard neighbourhood park configuration.

The scope of the Kelso Beach at Nawash Park project includes an upgrade of
the existing splashpad in addition to the replacement of the playground.
The project is based on the budget allocations outlined in Table 1, Capital
Project Cost Breakdown. Overall, the capital budget includes a cost for a
consultant to undertake the design and tendering and the subsequent
construction of the defined scope of work as follows (values include
applicable HST).

Construction Administration Services was included as a provisional item in
the Landscape Architectural Services RFP (25-020). The estimated cost of
this item was $69,200 (including applicable HST). The provisional item has
not been awarded to date and is intended to support contract administration
services during the construction of the project. With the vacancy in the
Capital budget staff role, existing staff do not have the time required to
administer this contract and undertake the necessary on-site inspections.
The estimate is that this oversight will require approximately 400 hours of
time. It is recommended that the project budget be increased to allow a
change order in the contract with Croziers to allow for construction
administration.
As noted, the City and the SSOGC are equal partners in the funding of the
$500,000 capital project. The proposed construction budget of $497,000
allocates approximately $111,000 to the splash pad and $341,000 to the
playground and a construction contingency of $45,000.
The design and construction portion of the budget is over the budget at this
time by $69,600 (based on estimates and pricing from the manufacturers).

Page 17 of 155

The Order of Good Cheer has committed to funding half of the design and
construction overage with an additional $34,800. This would be paid in the
6th year of the agreement between the City and the Order.
Additional funding for contract administration by Crozier in the amount of
$69,200 plus $34,800 for the design & construction overage (total $104,000)
is being requested from the City. It is recommended that this be funded
through the Parks capital reserve. This would bring the total city contribution
to $354,000.
It merits note that the Order is seeking “in kind” contributions for some of
the project components such as gravel, granular material etc. This may
reduce the ultimate project cost; however, these details are not known at
this time.
Staff have submitted an application for grant funding. The timing of the grant
award is anticipated in the summer of 2026.

Human Resources
This project is being supported by the Manager of Parks and Open Spaces
and the Director of Community Services. The City’s Purchasing Division has
supported the RFP for the selection of the designer and has been involved in
the selection of three companies that provided written estimates for the
project.
Communications staff are assisting in the project communication including
the project page in OurCity.

The splash pad was built about 15 years ago in partnership with the Scenic City
Order of Good Cheer. This project will refresh the splash pad and better connect it
with the playground. The work includes replacing two features with new elements
that add interest and play value, optimize function of the system, and refreshing
the remaining features with a new thematic repainting to tie the splash pad and
playground together.

The existing Kelso Beach at Nawash Park playground was built in 1999 and
has reached the end of its service life. It will be replaced by new play elements
including a structure, swings and climber in the approximate location of the existing
playground. The preliminary conceptual design follows a ‘By the Water’ theme
and emphasizes inclusive, accessible play, with opportunities for users to climb,
sit, slide, and swing.

PROJECT INFORMATION
Kelso Beach at Nawash Park, located at 100 19th Street West, offers a distinctive mix
of cultural, active recreation, and passive leisure experiences. Kelso Beach at Nawash
Park spans 9.86 Hectares and is bordered by Eddie Sargent Parkway to the west and
nearly 700 metres of Georgian Bay Shoreline to the east. The park sits at the mouth of
the Pottawatomi River, an area that was once an important hunting and fishing ground
for the Saugeen Ojibway Nation. An abandoned rail corridor runs along much of the
park’s western edge and is now used primarily for overflow parking.
The Kelso Beach at Nawash Park project includes upgrades to the splash pad,
playground replacement, and accessible pathways. The playground is next to the
splash pad and the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer Washroom building, with the
Gichi-Name Wiikwedong Reconciliation garden to the south and the amphitheatre to
the north. The beach lies northeast of the playground.

A ACCESSIBILITY

We welcome your feedback on the preliminary conceptual design elements and features to help
inform the final design. If you have comments or concerns, please use the comment forms provided
or speak with a team member.

DESIGN PARAMETERS

We are currently in the conceptual development phase of the project. This is the first design step
to confirm that the desired elements fit into the spaces, are on budget and meet the defined design
parameters. From this stage we will be developing detailed design plans that will allow for the
construction works to commence in the fall of 2026.

This project has been underway for more than two years. During that time, the City
secured partnership funding, retained a design consultant, developed concept plans,
and consulted some key stakeholders, including the Saugeen Ojibway Nation and
the Order of Good Cheer. The next phase will advance the design and move into
implementation, with completion targeted for early summer 2027.

NEXT STEPS
Building on the preliminary conceptual design plans presented, stakeholder
feedback and community input will be synthesized and used to refine and advance
the project into detailed design. A report summarizing public and stakeholder
feedback will be presented to Community Services Committee June 24th.
This will include grading, pathways, seating areas, playground configuration and
layout and design components that will allow for contractors to be able to bid
on the project and move the work into construction. The anticipated timeline is
to start construction in early September 2026 and that the work be completed
by the end of May 2027 with the splash pad and playground being open to the
public at the beginning of June 2027.

Community Services Committee

Report From:

Viveca Gravel, River District Coordinator

Meeting Date:

May 20, 2026

Report Code:

8.b Community and Business Development 8

The section details a proposed expansion of an existing industrial and office building in Owen Sound, transitioning the occupancy from Group F (warehouse) to Group D (business) while maintaining sprinklered protections. The design addresses significant community and accessibility requirements, including the construction of concrete sidewalk ramps with dropped curbs to ensure barrier-free access to the new parking areas and building entrances. Fire safety regulations are strictly adhered to, with calculations for unprotected openings and fire resistance ratings confirming the building's compliance for major occupancies. The project includes provisions for 56 total parking stalls, with specific allocations for accessible spaces and hazardous substance storage, reflecting a balanced approach to business growth and public safety.

8.b.1 Report CS-26-041 from the River District Coordinator Re: River District Public Art Installation by Artcures Grey Bruce

The Community Services Committee is reviewing two temporary public art proposals for Owen Sound's River District led by ArtCures Grey Bruce. The first project, titled "Peace Ribbons," involves painting over 150 trees and poles with community members between July 2 and September 30, 2026. This initiative supports the Vision 2050 goal of celebrating culture while aiming to deter graffiti by fostering local pride. A second proposal seeks approval in principle for painting murals on roughly six public utility boxes. After a vinyl wrap option was rejected as too expensive, painting was selected as a cost-effective method to beautify infrastructure. ArtCures, a volunteer collective focused on accessible creativity, will maintain both installations and handle removal after the September community art tour. Approval conditions include securing $5 million in city-named insurance, consulting park management for tree safety, and ensuring all work follows city public art policy. The River District Board previously allocated $500 to promote these banners and installations. A media release will track progress, and further details are available by contacting Viveca Gravel.

THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-041 respecting the River District
Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey Bruce, the Community Services
Committee recommends that City Council approve the:
1.

River District Art Installations by ArtCures Grey Bruce for the Peace
Ribbons, under the Public Art Policy, in the area in front of City Hall
and in Percy England Parkette, subject to the conditions outlined in
Attachment 2; and

2.

Proposed public art murals by ArtCures Grey Bruce on Public Utility
Boxes in principle, with the final design, details and conditions of
approval to be brought forward to a future Committee meeting.

ArtCures engaged over 150 community members in the painting of
the ribbons with a theme of peace for the “It’s a wrap” project.
Community involved art installations deter graffiti and vandalism.
Public art installations increase community engagement and pride.

and formal institutional arts and culture.

Policy AG10 – Public Art Policy

Background:
The City of Owen Sound and the River District continue to support
community-led initiatives that enhance public spaces, encourage cultural
participation, and contribute to the vibrancy of the community. Temporary
public art installations provide opportunities to animate public areas, create
points of interest for residents and visitors, and support local arts and culture
organizations through accessible and engaging programming.
The City’s Public Art Policy provides a policy framework for the placement of
art in municipally owned spaces.
It’s a Wrap – Peace Ribbons Project
ArtCures Grey Bruce has approached the City with a proposal to install a
temporary public art installation on City-owned property between July 2,
2026, and September 30, 2026. The installation called “It’s a Wrap” is
intended to promote peace, community connection, creativity, and wellness
through public art while contributing to the overall atmosphere and
experience within the community during the summer tourism season.
The banners represent the work of over 150 community members who were
engaged to paint the community art project with a theme of peace. These
are best represented in the photos included in attachment 1.

Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 2 of 7

Page 29 of 155

The proposed installation would remain temporary in nature and would be
located on City property specifically the trees and poles outside City Hall and
in Percy England Parkette for the duration of the approved timeframe.
ArtCures Grey Bruce would be responsible for coordinating the installation,
ongoing maintenance, and removal of the artwork, in collaboration with City
staff to ensure all applicable safety, accessibility, insurance, and operational
requirements are satisfied prior to installation.
Utility Box Mural Painting Initiative
In addition to the proposed temporary installation, staff are also seeking
approval to move forward with a public art utility box mural painting
initiative in partnership with ArtCures Grey Bruce. The project would involve
the artistic enhancement of approximately six utility boxes located
throughout the River District with the goal of improving the visual
appearance of existing infrastructure, supporting placemaking efforts, and
contributing to a more vibrant River District environment. Specific locations,
artwork concepts, timelines, and implementation details are still being
developed collaboratively between staff and ArtCures Grey Bruce and would
proceed pending all required approvals and coordination with applicable
utility providers.
Supporting Placemaking Initiatives
The proposed projects align with ongoing City and River District efforts to
support placemaking initiatives, beautification projects, and community
activations within public spaces, particularly during peak visitation periods.
Staff have reviewed the requests and are bringing the matter forward for
Committee consideration.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Community Services
Committee for the temporary installation of a public art display by ArtCures
Grey Bruce on City-owned property between July 2, 2026 and September 30,
2026, as well as approval to proceed with the development of a utility box
painting initiative within the River District, subject to all required approvals,
insurance, and operational considerations being met.

Analysis and Options:
The proposed temporary public art installation and the utility box painting
initiative align with the City of Owen Sound’s Vision 2050 Strategic Plan and
the River District Action Plan, both of which identify placemaking, cultural
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 3 of 7

Page 30 of 155

vibrancy, and the activation of public space as key priorities in supporting a
strong, welcoming, and economically resilient River District.
It’s a Wrap – Peace Ribbons Project
The temporary installation by ArtCures Grey Bruce directly supports Vision
2050 objectives related to enhancing community identity, strengthening
cultural expression, and improving the overall visitor and resident experience
in public spaces. It also aligns with River District Action Plan goals to
increase River District vibrancy, encourage visitation, and animate
underutilized or passive areas through temporary and flexible programming.
Staff have engaged Parks staff in the review of the proposed installation
location and have received confirmation that the installation will not
negatively impact tree health or safety for the duration of the project.
Coordination will continue internally to ensure all installation requirements
meet municipal standards related to safety, accessibility, and the protection
of City assets.
Utility Box Painting Initiative
Staff are seeking approval to move forward with the development of a utility
box painting initiative within the River District in partnership with ArtCures
Grey Bruce. This project supports broader beautification and placemaking
efforts by transforming existing infrastructure into opportunities for public art
and community expression. Staff have engaged Public Works and
Engineering early in the process and have received preliminary feedback
supporting continued exploration of the project.
At this stage, staff are working to establish clear parameters around the
allowable extent of coverage on each utility box to ensure operational needs
and infrastructure visibility are maintained. Work is also underway to identify
appropriate paint types and application methods, with consideration given to
durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental factors such as
heat sensitivity and long-term material performance.
As the project moves forward, staff will continue to work through detailed
design and technical considerations with internal divisions, including public
works and engineering, and utility partners. Detailed design will come back
to committee for approval.
Once the painted surfaces begin to show deterioration over time, staff will
assess whether a future community-based repainting initiative is appropriate
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 4 of 7

Page 31 of 155

or whether the boxes should be returned to their original condition using
suitable restoration methods which would include repainting the boxes with
paint that public works can easily access and with minimal budget impacts.
Another report will be brought forward to Community Services at that time.
Staff also explored the option of utilizing a vinyl wrap approach for the utility
boxes, which would have involved the same artist group developing the
artwork in a digital format for production and application. Initial pricing
obtained for this approach exceeded approximately $800 per box, making it
a less feasible option for this project at this time given the number of units
being considered and the overall budget implications.
From a broader perspective, there is strong supporting evidence for the role
of public art in strengthening community well-being and improving public
realm outcomes. Research in urban design and community development
consistently shows that public art contributes to more welcoming, engaging,
and visually cared-for environments, which in turn can positively influence
how people experience and interact with public space.
Public art and mural-based initiatives have also been linked to improved
perceptions of neighbourhood safety and cleanliness, largely through the
signal they send that a space is actively cared for and maintained. In many
cases, communities report that areas with visible, well-maintained artwork
feel more inviting and less neglected, which can help shift how public space
is used and respected over time.
There is also evidence suggesting that public art can support social
connection and community well-being by fostering a stronger sense of place
and local identity. When residents and visitors see their community reflected
in creative expression, it can help reinforce pride in place and strengthen
attachment to local spaces.
While outcomes can vary depending on context and implementation, studies
and case examples have also shown that mural and beautification projects
can contribute to reductions in vandalism and graffiti in some areas,
particularly where installations are well-maintained and community
supported. This is generally attributed to increased perceived stewardship
and pride in the space.
Overall, both initiatives align well with Council’s strategic direction and
represent practical, cost-effective opportunities to enhance the River District.
They support ongoing efforts to improve the appearance, usability, and
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 5 of 7

Page 32 of 155

sense of place within the River District, while also leveraging community
partnerships to deliver meaningful placemaking outcomes.
Staff will work using the guiding principles and rules as laid out in the Public
Art Policy.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The River District Board of Management allocates up to $200 for initiatives
with a minimum of 4 businesses supporting. The banner installation falls
within this category and will benefit from $200 being used for promotion.
The River District Board of Management approved a One-Year Events &
Activations Team with a budget to be allocated to new events and activations
within the River District. The Team has allocated $500 to help support this
banner installation.
Details respecting the utility box painting are still under development.

Human Resources
All work is within staff’s responsibilities and workplans.

Time and Scheduling
ArtCures banner installations will take place between July 2nd and July 10th.
The art installation will be in place between the install date and removed
following the Owen Sound Community Artist Studio Tour taking place
September 19 & 20, 2026.
The utility box painting is to be determined with an expectation that the
boxes will remain painted until such a time they are deemed to show a loss
of integrity.

The report seeks approval for a temporary public art installation by ArtCures Grey Bruce on City property, including trees and poles outside City Hall and in Percy England Parkette, running from July 2 to September 30, 2026. Simultaneously, staff propose a utility box mural initiative in the River District to beautify approximately six infrastructure units, pending further technical approvals. Both projects align with strategic plans to enhance placemaking and community vibrancy, with ArtCures responsible for all installation, maintenance, and removal costs. Financial resources include $200 from the River District Board and $500 from an events team, while safety and tree health remain key operational considerations.

Policy AG10 – Public Art Policy

Background:
The City of Owen Sound and the River District continue to support
community-led initiatives that enhance public spaces, encourage cultural
participation, and contribute to the vibrancy of the community. Temporary
public art installations provide opportunities to animate public areas, create
points of interest for residents and visitors, and support local arts and culture
organizations through accessible and engaging programming.
The City’s Public Art Policy provides a policy framework for the placement of
art in municipally owned spaces.
It’s a Wrap – Peace Ribbons Project
ArtCures Grey Bruce has approached the City with a proposal to install a
temporary public art installation on City-owned property between July 2,
2026, and September 30, 2026. The installation called “It’s a Wrap” is
intended to promote peace, community connection, creativity, and wellness
through public art while contributing to the overall atmosphere and
experience within the community during the summer tourism season.
The banners represent the work of over 150 community members who were
engaged to paint the community art project with a theme of peace. These
are best represented in the photos included in attachment 1.

Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 2 of 7

Page 29 of 155

The proposed installation would remain temporary in nature and would be
located on City property specifically the trees and poles outside City Hall and
in Percy England Parkette for the duration of the approved timeframe.
ArtCures Grey Bruce would be responsible for coordinating the installation,
ongoing maintenance, and removal of the artwork, in collaboration with City
staff to ensure all applicable safety, accessibility, insurance, and operational
requirements are satisfied prior to installation.
Utility Box Mural Painting Initiative
In addition to the proposed temporary installation, staff are also seeking
approval to move forward with a public art utility box mural painting
initiative in partnership with ArtCures Grey Bruce. The project would involve
the artistic enhancement of approximately six utility boxes located
throughout the River District with the goal of improving the visual
appearance of existing infrastructure, supporting placemaking efforts, and
contributing to a more vibrant River District environment. Specific locations,
artwork concepts, timelines, and implementation details are still being
developed collaboratively between staff and ArtCures Grey Bruce and would
proceed pending all required approvals and coordination with applicable
utility providers.
Supporting Placemaking Initiatives
The proposed projects align with ongoing City and River District efforts to
support placemaking initiatives, beautification projects, and community
activations within public spaces, particularly during peak visitation periods.
Staff have reviewed the requests and are bringing the matter forward for
Committee consideration.
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Community Services
Committee for the temporary installation of a public art display by ArtCures
Grey Bruce on City-owned property between July 2, 2026 and September 30,
2026, as well as approval to proceed with the development of a utility box
painting initiative within the River District, subject to all required approvals,
insurance, and operational considerations being met.

Analysis and Options:
The proposed temporary public art installation and the utility box painting
initiative align with the City of Owen Sound’s Vision 2050 Strategic Plan and
the River District Action Plan, both of which identify placemaking, cultural
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 3 of 7

Page 30 of 155

vibrancy, and the activation of public space as key priorities in supporting a
strong, welcoming, and economically resilient River District.
It’s a Wrap – Peace Ribbons Project
The temporary installation by ArtCures Grey Bruce directly supports Vision
2050 objectives related to enhancing community identity, strengthening
cultural expression, and improving the overall visitor and resident experience
in public spaces. It also aligns with River District Action Plan goals to
increase River District vibrancy, encourage visitation, and animate
underutilized or passive areas through temporary and flexible programming.
Staff have engaged Parks staff in the review of the proposed installation
location and have received confirmation that the installation will not
negatively impact tree health or safety for the duration of the project.
Coordination will continue internally to ensure all installation requirements
meet municipal standards related to safety, accessibility, and the protection
of City assets.
Utility Box Painting Initiative
Staff are seeking approval to move forward with the development of a utility
box painting initiative within the River District in partnership with ArtCures
Grey Bruce. This project supports broader beautification and placemaking
efforts by transforming existing infrastructure into opportunities for public art
and community expression. Staff have engaged Public Works and
Engineering early in the process and have received preliminary feedback
supporting continued exploration of the project.
At this stage, staff are working to establish clear parameters around the
allowable extent of coverage on each utility box to ensure operational needs
and infrastructure visibility are maintained. Work is also underway to identify
appropriate paint types and application methods, with consideration given to
durability, maintenance requirements, and environmental factors such as
heat sensitivity and long-term material performance.
As the project moves forward, staff will continue to work through detailed
design and technical considerations with internal divisions, including public
works and engineering, and utility partners. Detailed design will come back
to committee for approval.
Once the painted surfaces begin to show deterioration over time, staff will
assess whether a future community-based repainting initiative is appropriate
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 4 of 7

Page 31 of 155

or whether the boxes should be returned to their original condition using
suitable restoration methods which would include repainting the boxes with
paint that public works can easily access and with minimal budget impacts.
Another report will be brought forward to Community Services at that time.
Staff also explored the option of utilizing a vinyl wrap approach for the utility
boxes, which would have involved the same artist group developing the
artwork in a digital format for production and application. Initial pricing
obtained for this approach exceeded approximately $800 per box, making it
a less feasible option for this project at this time given the number of units
being considered and the overall budget implications.
From a broader perspective, there is strong supporting evidence for the role
of public art in strengthening community well-being and improving public
realm outcomes. Research in urban design and community development
consistently shows that public art contributes to more welcoming, engaging,
and visually cared-for environments, which in turn can positively influence
how people experience and interact with public space.
Public art and mural-based initiatives have also been linked to improved
perceptions of neighbourhood safety and cleanliness, largely through the
signal they send that a space is actively cared for and maintained. In many
cases, communities report that areas with visible, well-maintained artwork
feel more inviting and less neglected, which can help shift how public space
is used and respected over time.
There is also evidence suggesting that public art can support social
connection and community well-being by fostering a stronger sense of place
and local identity. When residents and visitors see their community reflected
in creative expression, it can help reinforce pride in place and strengthen
attachment to local spaces.
While outcomes can vary depending on context and implementation, studies
and case examples have also shown that mural and beautification projects
can contribute to reductions in vandalism and graffiti in some areas,
particularly where installations are well-maintained and community
supported. This is generally attributed to increased perceived stewardship
and pride in the space.
Overall, both initiatives align well with Council’s strategic direction and
represent practical, cost-effective opportunities to enhance the River District.
They support ongoing efforts to improve the appearance, usability, and
Staff Report CS-26-041: River District Public Art Installations by ArtCures Grey
Bruce
Page 5 of 7

Page 32 of 155

sense of place within the River District, while also leveraging community
partnerships to deliver meaningful placemaking outcomes.
Staff will work using the guiding principles and rules as laid out in the Public
Art Policy.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The River District Board of Management allocates up to $200 for initiatives
with a minimum of 4 businesses supporting. The banner installation falls
within this category and will benefit from $200 being used for promotion.
The River District Board of Management approved a One-Year Events &
Activations Team with a budget to be allocated to new events and activations
within the River District. The Team has allocated $500 to help support this
banner installation.
Details respecting the utility box painting are still under development.

Human Resources
All work is within staff’s responsibilities and workplans.

Time and Scheduling
ArtCures banner installations will take place between July 2nd and July 10th.
The art installation will be in place between the install date and removed
following the Owen Sound Community Artist Studio Tour taking place
September 19 & 20, 2026.
The utility box painting is to be determined with an expectation that the
boxes will remain painted until such a time they are deemed to show a loss
of integrity.

8.c.1 Report CS-26-042 from the Senior Planner Re: Facade and Landscaping Improvement Grant - 1199 1st Avenue East

Owen Sound's Community Services Committee is reviewing a proposal to upgrade a mixed-use building at 1199 1st Avenue East in the historic East Harbour waterfront zone. The applicant seeks public funding to remove deteriorating fences and encroaching vegetation, replacing them with new horizontal wood fencing and a landscaped buffer featuring soil, sod, mulch, and native plantings. Additionally, the work plan includes repointing brickwork on the front and side façades and replacing three second-storey windows with gooseneck lighting to boost safety. Staff recommends a grant covering up to 50% of eligible costs, potentially totaling $17,495 for approximately $35,000 in work, sourced from a 2026 capital budget. This funding aligns with city goals to restore architectural character and improve pedestrian environments. Approval is contingent on the owner meeting tax obligations, hiring a qualified mason for brickwork, using natural or neutral-stained wood, and selecting plants from the City's native list. The Planning & Heritage Division will oversee these conditions within a one-year completion window, pending final by-law agreement and committee review of the upcoming agenda item.

Background:
Applications to the City’s Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program
and Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program have been
submitted by Scott Vinning for work to be completed at 1199 1st Avenue
East.
The subject property is located within the City’s East Harbour Area, at the
southeast corner of the intersection of 1st Avenue East and 12th Street East
and currently contains an existing two-storey brick mixed use building. The

Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 2 of 8

Page 44 of 155

ground floor of the building consists of office space, and the upper storey is
currently occupied by a short-term rental.
Proposed Work
Under the Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program, the applicant
is proposing:




Replacement of three (3) second-storey windows on the side (west)
façade.
Installation of eight (8) gooseneck lights on the side (west) façade.
Repointing of brick work on the north (front) and side (west)
façade.

Under the Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program, the
applicant is proposing:



Remove existing, dilapidated wood fencing and replace with new,
horizontal wood fencing.
Professional landscaping (topsoil, sod, mulch, plantings).

Analysis and Options:
This section provides an analysis of the relevant policies of the City’s 2020
CIP, the Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines, and
the Accessibility Improvement Grant Program Guidelines.

City of Owen Sound Community Improvement Plan (2020)
Section 6.3 of the City’s 2020 CIP outlines relevant General Eligibility Criteria
that all applications are required to meet regardless of financial incentive
program.
6.3.1 Timing of Community Improvement Works
Section 6.3.1 of the City’s 2020 CIP states that in order to be eligible for any
incentive program, a financial incentive program application form must be
submitted to the City prior to commencing and community improvement
works. Complete applications must be submitted and approved prior to
application for planning approval and/or building permit, as may be required,
and prior to commencing any community improvement works.
The applicant submitted a complete financial incentive program application to
the City on May 8, 2026. The applicant has proceeded with tree/vegetation
removal, which is not considered an eligible cost under either the Façade or
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 3 of 8

Page 45 of 155

Landscaping Improvement Grant. Eligible works have not commenced, as
required by Section 6.3.1 of the CIP.
6.3.8 Project in Accordance with Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Section 6.3.8 of the CIP requires existing and proposed land uses to be in
conformity with the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
The property is designated ‘Waterfront Mixed Use’ on Schedule ‘A’ – Land
Use of the City’s 2021 Official Plan and is within the East Harbour Planning
Area (Schedule ‘A4’), which further designates the lands ‘Waterfront Mixed
Use A’. The lands are zoned ‘Mixed Use Commercial (MC), Special Provision
14.93 by the City’s Zoning By-law (2010-078, as amended).
The Waterfront Mixed Use designation permits an appropriate and compatible
mix and range of industrial, residential, office, retail and service uses. The
designation is intended to be flexible and responsive to land use pattern
changes and demands. The Urban Design policies of the East Harbour
Planning Area (Sec. 4.4.5) encourage well-coordinated and designed
streetscapes within this area of the City, in a manner that considers the
mass, scale, texture, proportion and history of adjacent uses and the
harbour. The proposal will greatly improve the appearance of the subject
property (1199 1st Avenue East), from the City street, and the pedestrianfriendliness of the area, which is supported by the policies of the City’s OP.
A variety of commercial uses, including offices, are permitted within the MC
Zone, as well as residential uses including townhouses, apartments, and
dwelling units in combination with permitted commercial uses. Special
Provision 14.93 provides site specific site and building regulations for an
apartment. The office and short-term rental within the existing two-storey
red brick building is permitted within the MC Zone.
7.1.2 Designation of Approval Authority
Section 7.1.2 of the CIP states that City Council will be the approval
authority responsible for making decisions on financial incentive applications,
with consultation with the Community Services Committee. Approval
authority of Council may be delegated to a Committee or a member of
municipal staff by-law.
The City has established a process via By-law No. 2021-028, whereby
approval of financial incentive programs may be delegated to the Director of
Community Services and the City Manager, jointly, provided that certain
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 4 of 8

Page 46 of 155

criteria are met including that the total amount of financial incentives does
not exceed $10,000.
The total of amount of both grants is anticipated to be $17,495; therefore, a
report is being brought forward for consideration by Committee and Council.

Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines
The subject property has two (2) distinct façades; one (1) fronting 1st
Avenue East and one (1) fronting 12th Street East. Eligible works are
proposed to both façades therefore; the applicant has been considered
eligible for a double façade grant in accordance with page 14 of the Façade
and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines (“the Guidelines”).
In accordance with the Guidelines, double façade improvements must have a
minimum project cost of $4,500. The estimated eligible works exceed
$7,000, as outlined in the estimated costs attached as Schedule ‘A’,
therefore, this criterion is satisfied.
In evaluating a façade application, the Guidelines direct that the application
be assessed against three main criteria:
1.

Consistency with the Guidelines and original architectural design of
the building;

2.

The extent to which a project addresses life safety and major
structural deficiencies, where applicable; and

3.

Overall benefits to the Downtown and Harbour Area and
consistency with the City’s Official Plan and other applicable
policies.

The proposed façade improvement fits within the criteria for “renovation” as
outlined in the eligible project sections of the Guidelines (pg. 15). The intent
of façade renovation is to restore the original strengths and design of a
façade but not does require the building to be entirely modified.
While the existing, two-storey red brick building has not been listed on the
City’s Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest nor
designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, its architectural design and
location within the City’s East Harbour is reminiscent of a working harbour.
The façade grant application is proposing to repoint the original brick work of
the building which is considered eligible and supported by the Guidelines.
Page 26 of the Guidelines identifies upper storey window replacements as
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 5 of 8

Page 47 of 155

eligible, provided it is being completion in combination with other
improvements, and original window openings are maintained. These criteria
are satisfied. Lastly, improvements to exterior lighting are encouraged by the
Guidelines to illuminate the business, attract attention to building details,
and to discourage crime. The application is proposing the installation of
gooseneck lighting along the 1st Avenue East façade, which is highly
encouraged and to be given top priority under the Guidelines.

Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program
Guidelines
The Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program Guidelines (“the
Guidelines”) require that projects have a minimum cost of $5,000 in order to
be considered eligible. The estimated cost of the proposed fencing and
landscaping is $20,000, as outlined in the cost estimates attached as
Schedule ‘A’, therefore, this criterion is satisfied.
The property is located within the City’s East Harbour Planning Area, which is
identified as a priority area by Section 3.2 of the Guidelines. Priority areas
warrant enhanced improvements or landscape treatment and are eligible for
enhanced capital grant under the program (50% of eligible costs, maximum
$10,000).
Section 6.1 of the Guidelines identifies professional landscaping projects as
eligible under the program. Eligible landscaping projects may include:



Installation of alternative ground cover treatments, such as
permeable and/or decorative paving stones, sod, or mulch.
Planting of flower beds, shrubs and/or trees.

Section 6.6 of the Guidelines identifies the installation of fencing to buffer a
property, parking area, or garbage and recycling area from the street or
surrounding land uses in considered eligible. Where a fence is proposed to
buffer a property from the street or surrounding land uses, trees or shrub
plantings shall be placed on the inside of the fence to soften its unvaried
appearance.
Photos of the existing property condition are attached as Schedule ‘C’. The
property currently contains broken/dilapidated wood fencing and an
overgrowth of vegetation that is encroaching onto the City sidewalk. The
applicant proposes to remove the existing fencing and landscaping and

Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 6 of 8

Page 48 of 155

replace it with new horizontal wood fencing, sod, mulch and the planting of
flower beds/shrubs, interior to the fence, consistent with the Guidelines.
The proposal will result in the beautification of an existing mixed-use
property within the City’s East Harbour area and greatly improve the
appearance of the property from the City street (1st Avenue East), that is
consistent with and supported by the Guidelines.
Recently, City Planning Staff processed a Site Plan Approval application for
redevelopment of the adjacent property to the south, municipally known as
1177 1st Avenue East. The proposal consists of a new 557 square metre steel
building for the purposes of a retail warehouse and enhanced landscaped
areas to the rear (west) of the site, fronting 1st Avenue East. The proposed
improvements, in combination with those proposed to the adjacent property
at 1177 1st Avenue East under Site Plan Approval (ST2025-014), will greatly
improve the appearance of this block of 1st Avenue East.

Resource Alignment:

Report From:

Andy O’Leary, Facilities Booking Coordinator

Meeting Date:

May 20, 2026

Report Code:

8.d Facility Bookings and Community Programs 8.d.1

The City of Owen Sound is reviewing a grant request to renovate a mixed-use building in East Harbour, with a proposed cost of $34,990 and a potential city contribution of $17,495, contingent on upcoming Council approval. The project aims to improve the waterfront district's appearance by repointing brick, updating windows, installing new lighting, and replacing deteriorated fencing with neutral-stained wood, alongside professional landscaping. Staff recommend against adopting provincial changes allowing "Bring-Your-Own" alcohol permits for local events due to public safety risks, increased liability, and operational costs without financial offset, though the province may permit bylaws on April 30, 2026. Additionally, liability concerns led to new rules at the Bayshore Community Centre prohibiting running to protect pedestrians and those with mobility issues, while a separate hockey club renovation request requires the applicant to cover all costs and provide engineering stamps. Adjacent redevelopment and proposed improvements aim to collectively enhance the street facade. The city will monitor how other jurisdictions handle the alcohol permit framework before deciding on legislative changes or public education campaigns. No decisions have been finalized regarding the grant funding or alcohol regulations yet.

As part of the Façade and Structural Improvement Grant
application, the applicant is proposing repointing of brickwork,
replacement of three upper storey windows, and the installation of
gooseneck lighting.
As part of the Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant
application, the applicant is proposing the installation of new

Background:
Applications to the City’s Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program
and Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program have been
submitted by Scott Vinning for work to be completed at 1199 1st Avenue
East.
The subject property is located within the City’s East Harbour Area, at the
southeast corner of the intersection of 1st Avenue East and 12th Street East
and currently contains an existing two-storey brick mixed use building. The

Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 2 of 8

Page 44 of 155

ground floor of the building consists of office space, and the upper storey is
currently occupied by a short-term rental.
Proposed Work
Under the Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program, the applicant
is proposing:




Replacement of three (3) second-storey windows on the side (west)
façade.
Installation of eight (8) gooseneck lights on the side (west) façade.
Repointing of brick work on the north (front) and side (west)
façade.

Under the Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program, the
applicant is proposing:



Remove existing, dilapidated wood fencing and replace with new,
horizontal wood fencing.
Professional landscaping (topsoil, sod, mulch, plantings).

Analysis and Options:
This section provides an analysis of the relevant policies of the City’s 2020
CIP, the Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines, and
the Accessibility Improvement Grant Program Guidelines.

City of Owen Sound Community Improvement Plan (2020)
Section 6.3 of the City’s 2020 CIP outlines relevant General Eligibility Criteria
that all applications are required to meet regardless of financial incentive
program.
6.3.1 Timing of Community Improvement Works
Section 6.3.1 of the City’s 2020 CIP states that in order to be eligible for any
incentive program, a financial incentive program application form must be
submitted to the City prior to commencing and community improvement
works. Complete applications must be submitted and approved prior to
application for planning approval and/or building permit, as may be required,
and prior to commencing any community improvement works.
The applicant submitted a complete financial incentive program application to
the City on May 8, 2026. The applicant has proceeded with tree/vegetation
removal, which is not considered an eligible cost under either the Façade or
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 3 of 8

Page 45 of 155

Landscaping Improvement Grant. Eligible works have not commenced, as
required by Section 6.3.1 of the CIP.
6.3.8 Project in Accordance with Official Plan and Zoning By-law
Section 6.3.8 of the CIP requires existing and proposed land uses to be in
conformity with the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
The property is designated ‘Waterfront Mixed Use’ on Schedule ‘A’ – Land
Use of the City’s 2021 Official Plan and is within the East Harbour Planning
Area (Schedule ‘A4’), which further designates the lands ‘Waterfront Mixed
Use A’. The lands are zoned ‘Mixed Use Commercial (MC), Special Provision
14.93 by the City’s Zoning By-law (2010-078, as amended).
The Waterfront Mixed Use designation permits an appropriate and compatible
mix and range of industrial, residential, office, retail and service uses. The
designation is intended to be flexible and responsive to land use pattern
changes and demands. The Urban Design policies of the East Harbour
Planning Area (Sec. 4.4.5) encourage well-coordinated and designed
streetscapes within this area of the City, in a manner that considers the
mass, scale, texture, proportion and history of adjacent uses and the
harbour. The proposal will greatly improve the appearance of the subject
property (1199 1st Avenue East), from the City street, and the pedestrianfriendliness of the area, which is supported by the policies of the City’s OP.
A variety of commercial uses, including offices, are permitted within the MC
Zone, as well as residential uses including townhouses, apartments, and
dwelling units in combination with permitted commercial uses. Special
Provision 14.93 provides site specific site and building regulations for an
apartment. The office and short-term rental within the existing two-storey
red brick building is permitted within the MC Zone.
7.1.2 Designation of Approval Authority
Section 7.1.2 of the CIP states that City Council will be the approval
authority responsible for making decisions on financial incentive applications,
with consultation with the Community Services Committee. Approval
authority of Council may be delegated to a Committee or a member of
municipal staff by-law.
The City has established a process via By-law No. 2021-028, whereby
approval of financial incentive programs may be delegated to the Director of
Community Services and the City Manager, jointly, provided that certain
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 4 of 8

Page 46 of 155

criteria are met including that the total amount of financial incentives does
not exceed $10,000.
The total of amount of both grants is anticipated to be $17,495; therefore, a
report is being brought forward for consideration by Committee and Council.

Façade and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines
The subject property has two (2) distinct façades; one (1) fronting 1st
Avenue East and one (1) fronting 12th Street East. Eligible works are
proposed to both façades therefore; the applicant has been considered
eligible for a double façade grant in accordance with page 14 of the Façade
and Structural Improvement Grant Program Guidelines (“the Guidelines”).
In accordance with the Guidelines, double façade improvements must have a
minimum project cost of $4,500. The estimated eligible works exceed
$7,000, as outlined in the estimated costs attached as Schedule ‘A’,
therefore, this criterion is satisfied.
In evaluating a façade application, the Guidelines direct that the application
be assessed against three main criteria:
1.

Consistency with the Guidelines and original architectural design of
the building;

2.

The extent to which a project addresses life safety and major
structural deficiencies, where applicable; and

3.

Overall benefits to the Downtown and Harbour Area and
consistency with the City’s Official Plan and other applicable
policies.

The proposed façade improvement fits within the criteria for “renovation” as
outlined in the eligible project sections of the Guidelines (pg. 15). The intent
of façade renovation is to restore the original strengths and design of a
façade but not does require the building to be entirely modified.
While the existing, two-storey red brick building has not been listed on the
City’s Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest nor
designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, its architectural design and
location within the City’s East Harbour is reminiscent of a working harbour.
The façade grant application is proposing to repoint the original brick work of
the building which is considered eligible and supported by the Guidelines.
Page 26 of the Guidelines identifies upper storey window replacements as
Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 5 of 8

Page 47 of 155

eligible, provided it is being completion in combination with other
improvements, and original window openings are maintained. These criteria
are satisfied. Lastly, improvements to exterior lighting are encouraged by the
Guidelines to illuminate the business, attract attention to building details,
and to discourage crime. The application is proposing the installation of
gooseneck lighting along the 1st Avenue East façade, which is highly
encouraged and to be given top priority under the Guidelines.

Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program
Guidelines
The Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant Program Guidelines (“the
Guidelines”) require that projects have a minimum cost of $5,000 in order to
be considered eligible. The estimated cost of the proposed fencing and
landscaping is $20,000, as outlined in the cost estimates attached as
Schedule ‘A’, therefore, this criterion is satisfied.
The property is located within the City’s East Harbour Planning Area, which is
identified as a priority area by Section 3.2 of the Guidelines. Priority areas
warrant enhanced improvements or landscape treatment and are eligible for
enhanced capital grant under the program (50% of eligible costs, maximum
$10,000).
Section 6.1 of the Guidelines identifies professional landscaping projects as
eligible under the program. Eligible landscaping projects may include:



Installation of alternative ground cover treatments, such as
permeable and/or decorative paving stones, sod, or mulch.
Planting of flower beds, shrubs and/or trees.

Section 6.6 of the Guidelines identifies the installation of fencing to buffer a
property, parking area, or garbage and recycling area from the street or
surrounding land uses in considered eligible. Where a fence is proposed to
buffer a property from the street or surrounding land uses, trees or shrub
plantings shall be placed on the inside of the fence to soften its unvaried
appearance.
Photos of the existing property condition are attached as Schedule ‘C’. The
property currently contains broken/dilapidated wood fencing and an
overgrowth of vegetation that is encroaching onto the City sidewalk. The
applicant proposes to remove the existing fencing and landscaping and

Staff Report CS-26-042: Façade and Structural Improvement and Landscaping and
Property Improvement Grant – 1199 1st Avenue East
Page 6 of 8

Page 48 of 155

replace it with new horizontal wood fencing, sod, mulch and the planting of
flower beds/shrubs, interior to the fence, consistent with the Guidelines.
The proposal will result in the beautification of an existing mixed-use
property within the City’s East Harbour area and greatly improve the
appearance of the property from the City street (1st Avenue East), that is
consistent with and supported by the Guidelines.
Recently, City Planning Staff processed a Site Plan Approval application for
redevelopment of the adjacent property to the south, municipally known as
1177 1st Avenue East. The proposal consists of a new 557 square metre steel
building for the purposes of a retail warehouse and enhanced landscaped
areas to the rear (west) of the site, fronting 1st Avenue East. The proposed
improvements, in combination with those proposed to the adjacent property
at 1177 1st Avenue East under Site Plan Approval (ST2025-014), will greatly
improve the appearance of this block of 1st Avenue East.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The anticipated amount of the Facade and Structural Improvement Grant is a
maximum of $7,495, based on an estimated $14,990 in eligible work
provided.
The anticipated amount of the Landscaping and Property Improvement Grant
is a maximum of $10,000, based on an estimated $20,000 in eligible work
provided.
The total amount of both grants is anticipated to be $17,495.
The available budget for CIP programs in 2026 is $85,000, including a
$60,000 operating budget and $25,000 in reserve funds. So far this year,
$22,500 in grant funding has been approved under the Façade and
Structural Improvement Grant Program and Landscaping and Program
Improvement Grant Program therefore, there is adequate funding available
in the 2026 CIP budget and reserves to approve the applications.

Human Resources
The Planning & Heritage Division administers the financial incentive programs
available under the Community Improvement Plan.

Subject:

Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21

Recommendations:
THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-035 respecting Bring-Your-Own
(BYO) Events, the Community Services Committee recommends that City
Council direct staff to continue to monitor the implementation of Bring Your
Own (BYO) events Provincially and in other communities.

Highlights:








The AGCO is responsible for administering the Liquor Licence and
Control Act, 2019, which, combined with the Regulations, sets the
licensing and regulatory framework for the sale and service of
alcohol in Ontario.
The City’s Municipal Alcohol Policy (CS30) was developed to support
the orderly consumption of alcohol during events and festivals in
City facilities and property.
From a risk management and public safety perspective, the BYO
framework presents significant concerns. The absence of clear
economic benefits, mandated risk management requirements, and
clear enforcement standards creates exposure for the City.
To permit a Bring Your Own Event, the municipality is required to
approve a by-law. At this time, no by-law is recommended, and
staff proposes to continue to monitor the approach of other
municipalities as well as provincial changes that may reduce the
risk factors.

Vision 2050 - Strategic Plan Alignment:
Strategic Plan Priority: Celebrating and Embracing Culture - Uplifting all
aspects of the City’s local culture, including Indigenous Peoples’ cultural
histories and practices, the cultural histories and practices of all residents,
and formal institutional arts and culture.

Previous Report/Authority:
None.

Background:
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is responsible for
administering the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 which, combined with
the Regulations, sets the licensing and regulatory framework for the sale and
service of alcohol in Ontario.
In 2019, provincial requirements for Special Occasion Permits (SOP) were
updated to include tailgate events, requiring a specific permit for sportingrelated events where attendees 19 years of age and older may bring and
consume their own alcohol within the permitted area.
Effective April 30, 2026, amendments to Ontario Regulation 747/21 will
expand the eligibility for tailgate event permits to include events designated
by the Municipality as cultural or community events. This change introduces
a new class of permit, Bring-Your-Own (BYO) events. This new definition of
an event includes events on the ground level that are held in connection or in
proximity to a professional, semi-professional or post-secondary sporting
event, or have been designated by a municipal council or their delegates as a
cultural or community event. Approved events would allow of age individuals
to possess and consume liquor brought to the event by the attendee.
Recent changes implemented by the Province on April 30, 2026, have
expanded the eligibility for Tailgate event permits to include public events
that have municipal designation as cultural or community events, introducing
a new class of permit called Bring-Your-Own events. A Municipal designation
of a ‘Community’ or ‘cultural’ event and an approved Bring-Your-Own SOP
from the AGCO would allow attendees age 19 and over to bring and consume
alcohol within permitted areas of community or cultural events such as
Summerfolk, Emancipation Festival, Ribfest, One World Festival, etc.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 2 of 7

Page 76 of 155

Municipalities are not mandated to permit BYO outdoor public events.
Changes to the regulation made by the province enable these types of
events to occur. The Government identified that this change in the regulation
is intended to benefit businesses, organizations, and local tourism by making
public events more accessible and encouraging greater community
participation.
BYO event applicants must provide the AGCO with a letter from the
municipality designating the event as a ‘cultural’ or ‘Community’ event. If the
municipality doesn’t designate an event as a community or cultural event,
the AGCO cannot issue a BYO event SOP. The municipality has no obligation
to designate any events for BYO permit eligibility. Events taking place on
public property would also need authorization through the City of Owen
Sound’s Special Event Application Process (SEAT).
The sale and service of alcohol at special occasions and events open to the
public requiring a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) through the AGCO also
requires Municipal approval or authorization.
The City of Owen Sound’s Strategic Plan encourages the City to play an
active role in facilitating, enhancing and promoting special events in the City.
In order for the City to ensure the health and safety of participants, minimize
municipal risk and liability and protect City facilities and property, the City’s
Municipal Alcohol Policy (CS30) was developed to support the orderly
consumption of alcohol during events and festivals in City facilities and
property.
In response to the expansion of tailgate (now BYO) events, and in
consideration of the April 30, 2026, deadline to have a By-law in place if the
municipality intends to permit these events, regulatory changes and
implications, risk management and public safety, health and social impact, as
well as the potential economic benefits of this expanded permit opportunity,
have been assessed.

Analysis and Options:
Staff have consulted with the Owen Sound Police Services, Grey County EMS,
Grey Bruce Public Health, and internal City divisions as well as other
community event organizers. This consultation has informed the
recommendation not to proceed with a by-law permitting BYO events in the
City of Owen Sound at this time.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 3 of 7

Page 77 of 155

Regulation Changes – Municipal
The City’s current Municipal Alcohol Policy (MAP) doesn’t reference tailgate
events, however for this to be permitted, the MAP would need to be updated
to include tailgating events and expand permissions to include designated
community and cultural events. Given that applicants for BYO events must
cultural or community event before submitting their application to the AGCO,
the municipality would need to develop clear criteria for what events would
fall under these specific categories. The Province of Ontario has not
prescribed procedures for designations; however, has shared examples of
what might be considered community or cultural events, including outdoor
movie screenings, street markets, arts and crafts shows, free outdoor
concerts, fairs, neighbourhood sports tournaments, public performances,
farmer’s markets, and international/religious festivals.
To protect public safety and ensure appropriate risk management practices,
a review of enforcement expectations, conditions of approval and events
requirements would be necessary, with updates made as necessary to
mitigate identified risks.
Risk Management & Public Safety
Key risk considerations identified and not addressed in the regulatory
framework include:









No statutory liability protection for municipalities
Direct conflict with existing Municipal Alcohol Policies
No mandated risk management requirements
Enforcement and administrative burden
Elevated risk of drink tampering or spiking
Cumulative Municipal or County pressures (police/emergency
medical services, equity & public health goals, regional
coordination, migration to permissive municipalities)
Joint and Several Liability exposures

Permitting BYO events in public spaces would significantly undermine
existing safeguards relied upon by the municipality to manage risk, promote
responsible consumption, and protect vulnerable populations.
As outlined in the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, event organizers are
legally responsible for meeting the AGCO permit conditions.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 4 of 7

Page 78 of 155

The availability and consumption of alcohol, and the harms associated with
it, directly affect municipal operations and services, including public safety,
enforcement, recreational spaces, and liability, with municipalities often
absorbing the resulting financial and operational costs.
Health and Social Implications
Increased alcohol consumption is strongly linked to significant health and
social harms. High-risk consumption can lead to mental health issues like
depression and increase the risk of partner violence and accidents.
Municipal Consideration and Financial Impacts
Staff reached out and requested comment from Owen Sound Police Services,
Owen Sound Fire Services, Grey-County EMS, Grey Bruce Public Health, and
internal Staff. The feedback was consistent with the recommendation in the
report.
There are no direct financial implications as a result of this report. If Council
votes to permit BYO event permits, there may be financial implications
related to service delivery, including risk management, legal, community and
public events, parks and harbour, police, fire and emergency services.
Conclusion
The AGCO administers the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 which
governs alcohol service in Ontario, including requirements for SOPs
supported by municipal authorization. Effective April 30, 2026, regulatory
amendments will enable municipalities, at their discretion, to designate
certain cultural or community events as eligible for BYO permits, allowing
attendees aged 19 and over to consume personally supplied alcohol within
approved event areas, subject to local by-laws and policies.
From a risk management and public safety perspective, the BYO framework
presents significant concerns. The absence of clear economic benefits,
mandated risk management requirements, and clear enforcement standards
creates exposure for the City. Permitting BYO events would undoubtedly
weaken existing controls, increase pressures on municipal services, and
further highlight known health harms associated with increased alcohol
availability. Given these hazards, Staff recommend that the city not approve
a bylaw to permit BYO events and continue to monitor these changes
Provincially as well as in other communities.

In order to permit a Bring Your Own Event, the municipality is required to

proposes to continue to monitor the approach of other municipalities as well
as provincial changes that may reduce the risk factors.

“Bring-Your-Own” Alcohol at Outdoor Public Events
Health, Safety, and Risk Mitigation Considerations
On March 17, 2026, the Ontario Government announced municipalities may permit “Bring-Your-Own” (BYO) alcoholic
beverages at qualifying outdoor public events, subject to the passage of a municipal bylaw for municipally designated
cultural or community events. (1) Grey Bruce Public Health is providing a public health perspective to support municipal
decision makers by outlining key health, equity, economic, and liability considerations, along with evidence-informed
strategies to decrease alcohol harms to communities. Evidence consistently demonstrates that increased availability and
access to alcohol normalizes use among young people and contributes to elevated levels of drinking and related harm,
ultimately impacting community safety and wellbeing. (2,3,4,5)
This document outlines health and safety considerations:
• Before allowing the BYO permit process in your municipality.
• When developing criteria for BYO permits.
• When administering and implementing BYO permits.
Please note that the guidance provided in this document is not intended to be a substitute for professional legal or liability advice.

Considerations Before Allowing the BYO Permit Process in Your Municipality

•

Allowing BYO alcohol at public events may increase municipal liability unless strong governance, safety controls,
enforcement and insurance requirements are in place. (6)
Considerations:
Obtain legal and insurance advice. (4,6)

•
•
•
•
•
•

Carefully assess local readiness, including consulting with local alcohol/drug strategies, emergency services,
enforcement and community safety and well-being partnerships. (6)
Review and align existing internal processes, event permit frameworks, and Municipal Alcohol Policies (MAPs). (6)
Assess whether existing staffing, enforcement capacity and cost recovery mechanisms are adequate to support BYO
events (e.g., paid duty or dedicated security requirements). (6)
Develop a monitoring and evaluation plan using multiple data sources, and ongoing public input. (4)
Clarify the requirements and responsibilities of permit holders within new/revised bylaws (e.g., Smart Serve trained
persons onsite at all times). (6,7)
Review the AGCO Guidelines. (7)

Considerations for Developing Criteria for BYO Permits
Define community and cultural
events for BYO permits intentionally.

•
•

•

Set criteria for BYO permits that meet
municipal requirements to support
health, safety, and wellbeing.
•

Municipal definitions should:
Ensure definitions align with community safety and well-being goals.
Exclude family-focused events where children and youth may be
present, and at locations primarily frequented by children (e.g.
playgrounds, sports fields, splash pads, libraries, and schools).
(4,6,8)
Include only locations with demonstrated safety and suitability for
alcohol consumption (see below).
BYO permits should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, rather
than through blanket approvals and should avoid creating cultural or
safety barriers for non-drinkers. (6)
Criteria:
Restrict locations such as:

•
•
•

o Child-related environments: playgrounds, wading pools,
splash pads, or skateboard and BMX parks, etc. (4,6,8)
o Inherently unsafe environments: outdoor pools, natural or
outdoor ice rinks, other bodies of water, etc. (4,8)
o In conjunction with higher risk activities. (4)
Exclude events where alcohol use would reasonably increase
nuisance, risk, or inequity. (4,6,9)
Restrict hours for when the event can take place. (3,4,9)
Require locations to have access to drinking water, washrooms,
garbage, recycling, and public transportation, if available. (4,8)

Considerations for Administering and Implementing BYO Permits
Apply a risk reduction approach.
•

•
•
•
•

Consider incorporating the following risk reduction strategies:
Restrict where alcohol can be consumed within the permit.
Designate separate areas where alcohol can be consumed and
maintain substantial alcohol-free areas with a physical barrier and
signage. Ensure equal enjoyment of the event by all members,
drinking and non-drinking. (6,7)
Only allow 19+ years in designated drinking areas. (7)
Prohibit glass alcohol bottles to prevent injury from broken
containers. (4,7)
Require food and non-alcoholic beverages to be available for
purchase. (2,10,11)
Require personal consumption limits consistent with Ontario
regulations intended to prevent intoxication and over-service at
events. (2,6,10,11,12,13)

Adapted with permission from the Ontario Municipal Alcohol Policy Working Group, for more information please contact h.innes@publichealthgreybruce.on.ca

PagePage
3 of 6 84 of 155

•
•
Conduct comprehensive monitoring
and evaluation.

•
•
•
Signage and public education.
•
•
•

Enforce a zero-tolerance standard for disorderly conduct, public
intoxication, and underage drinking. (6,11)
Establish an emergency response plan, including procedures for
intoxication, injury, and crowd management.
Monitor and evaluate community harms and costs (e.g., public
safety/security, liability, trash collection, signage, and/or employee
time). (4)
Consider post-event reports and compliance reviews to:
Address complaints and incidents. (6)
Assess enforcement effectiveness. (6)
Inform future event approvals and policy adjustments. (6)
At a minimum, a Sandy’s Law poster should be posted at the event.
(14) Consider the following as well:
Public education measures that inform the public when permits are
required for events involving BYO alcohol.
Signage on not driving impaired with local taxi or public transit
information.
Canadian Centre for Substance use and Addiction’s Poster.

Meeting Date:

May 20, 2026

Report Code:

CS-26-039

Subject:

Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use

Recommendations:
THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-039 respecting usage of the
Bayshore Upper Concourse, the Community Services Committee
recommends that City Council receive the report for information purposes.

Highlights:




Staff identified unsafe activities taking place in the upper concourse
of the J.D. McArthur Arena in January 2026.
Staff completed a risk assessment to help develop Conditions of
Use for the concourse area for all users.
The Conditions of Use will be posted throughout the upper
concourse at the Bayshore Community Centre.

Vision 2050 - Strategic Plan Alignment:
Strategic Plan Priority: Safe City – Contributing to inclusivity and accessibility
in our community and participating in initiatives focused on a range of longterm, systemic safety solutions that respond to current and future residents.
These Conditions of Use align with this strategic priority by enhancing
inclusivity and accessibility within the facility and implementing measures
that support both immediate and long-term safety for users of the upper
concourse.

Staff Report CS-26-039: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use
Page 1 of 5

Page 88 of 155

Previous Report/Authority:
None.

Background:
During the 2003 renovation of the Bayshore, a rubberized floor was installed.
Since that time, the upper concourse has been used informally for walking
while the building is open. The intent of this space has been to provide a safe
indoor walking area during poor weather months; however, it was not
designed or intended for running or other forms of exercise.
On January 12, 2026, Arena staff observed a group of young athletes
conducting high-speed sprints and other running activities in the upper
concourse area of the J.D. McArthur Arena at the Harry Lumley Bayshore
Community Centre. Staff approached the students’ running coach and raised
concerns regarding the safety of the activities taking place, requesting that
they not continue in this area. The City did not have a rental agreement or
insurance from this user group. At the time, staff cited concerns related to
the speed of the runners, noting that other users of the space include an
older demographic as well as individuals with mobility issues. Additionally,
people attending an on-ice or on-floor activity may be walking to their seat
or washroom. Walkers using the space have not created a conflict with other
facility patrons or a significant safety risk. In the past, walkers were able to
use the space informally during other events, except for when the facility
was hosting a ticketed event such as an Attack game or concert, when
walking was not permitted. Staff notes that the facility was not purpose-built
for these types of activities, which pose a potential liability risk.
The running coach requested a meeting with City staff. A meeting was held
January 29, 2026, to discuss the concerns and proposed use of the
concourse space. At that time, staff outlined the risks associated with the
activities being proposed, citing the Ontario Recreation Facilities Association
guidelines for indoor spaces in Recreation Centres, as well as the City’s
insurance provider’s perspective:



Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act, the City has a duty to take
reasonable steps to protect those who enter its facilities.
Where a risk is identified, the City is required to conduct a risk

mitigate that risk.



The risk of user and patron injury increases when individuals are
permitted to run through seating areas or hallways while others are
using the same space.
The floor surface is not a track, but a vinyl/rubberized flooring not
designed for running or sprinting.
Temperature and humidity conditions within the facility may further
increase safety concerns for the athletes, particularly around
corners and turns.
Restricting public access to the concourse to accommodate this
activity would result in a loss of revenue for the City and reduce
availability for other users.

Analysis and Options:
Following the meeting with the running coach, staff completed a risk
assessment of the upper concourse space. Based on this outcome, staff
developed Conditions of Use, which will be implemented and updated by staff
in accordance with the Ontario Recreation Facilities Association (ORFA) best
practices. The Concourse Conditions of Use include the following:









Walking only, running is not permitted.
Exercise on stairs is not permitted.
Strollers are permitted.
Indoor, non-marking footwear is recommended.
Commercial use or private instructional use is not permitted.
Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Teams warming up must have a coach or adult present.
The following items are not permitted: hockey sticks, balls or
pucks, exercise mats, weights, skipping ropes, or any other
exercise equipment.

As part of this process, staff reviewed practices at comparable recreation
facilities, including both purpose-built and non-purpose-built walking areas.
This review informed the development of consistent, overarching guidelines
intended to align the use of the upper concourse with its primary function as
a walking area.
The assessment identified that permitting multiple activities within the
concourse at the same time increases the likelihood of an incident and
potential injury. As a result, the conditions of use are intended to restrict
activities outside of walking, thereby reducing risk and improving overall
safety for all users.
Staff Report CS-26-039: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use
Page 3 of 5

Page 90 of 155

It was suggested by the running coach that the City could close the arena
area to the public at certain times of the day to allow the running use in the
concourse. This does not address the safety issue identified relating to the
type of floor and temperature conditions; and would result in a loss of
revenue for the City and loss of ice time available. As this is a public space,
during minor sports or heavier facility use, it is not conceivable to block off
times for specific running or other activities, as there is no way to guarantee
potential interference from members of the public or spectators. Walking can
still happen during these busier facility usages and pose much lower to no
additional risk.
Staff will continue to observe activity on the concourse as operationally
feasible and apply the conditions of use to promote compliance and maintain
a safe environment, users not following the conditions of use may be asked
to leave the facility.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
There will be some costs incurred to produce and hang new signage with the
Conditions of Use in the upper concourse. This would be funded through the
Bayshore operating budget.

Human Resources
Staff will continue to monitor the space as operationally feasible; with no
additional resources required.

Time and Scheduling
Upon approval of the Conditions of Use, the signage will be produced
immediately.
The signage will be installed during the summer months.

Technology and Infrastructure

Climate and Environmental Impacts:
There are no anticipated climate or environmental impacts.

8.d.1 Report CS-26-035 from the Facilities Booking Coordinator Re: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events

Ontario officials announced on March 17, 2026, that municipalities may permit "Bring-Your-Own" alcohol at outdoor events by passing a local bylaw, with such permits taking effect April 30, 2026. Owen Sound staff report no requests have been received from organizers yet. The city, in consultation with police, fire, health, and community partners, is evaluating whether to adopt a bylaw defining eligible gatherings. Health partners warn that expanded alcohol availability creates social harms, particularly for youth, and urges strict criteria such as excluding child-frequented locations, restricting hours, banning glass, and establishing non-drinking zones. Staff highlight severe public safety risks, including potential drink tampering and increased liability without statutory protection, alongside overwhelming pressure on police and emergency services. While the province aims to boost business and tourism, the Community Services Committee recommends against passing a bylaw at this time. The upcoming agenda involves deciding if the committee will enforce safety controls like requiring trained staff and water access. Residents seeking clarity on legal drinking times are advised to contact Facilities Booking Coordinator Andy O'Leary, as misinformation remains a concern.

THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-035 respecting Bring-Your-Own
(BYO) Events, the Community Services Committee recommends that City
Council direct staff to continue to monitor the implementation of Bring Your
Own (BYO) events Provincially and in other communities.

Highlights:






The AGCO is responsible for administering the Liquor Licence and
Control Act, 2019, which, combined with the Regulations, sets the
licensing and regulatory framework for the sale and service of
alcohol in Ontario.
The City’s Municipal Alcohol Policy (CS30) was developed to support
the orderly consumption of alcohol during events and festivals in
City facilities and property.
From a risk management and public safety perspective, the BYO
framework presents significant concerns. The absence of clear
economic benefits, mandated risk management requirements, and
clear enforcement standards creates exposure for the City.
To permit a Bring Your Own Event, the municipality is required to
approve a by-law. At this time, no by-law is recommended, and
staff proposes to continue to monitor the approach of other
municipalities as well as provincial changes that may reduce the
risk factors.

aspects of the City’s local culture, including Indigenous Peoples’ cultural
histories and practices, the cultural histories and practices of all residents,

Previous Report/Authority:
None.

Background:
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is responsible for
administering the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 which, combined with
the Regulations, sets the licensing and regulatory framework for the sale and
service of alcohol in Ontario.
In 2019, provincial requirements for Special Occasion Permits (SOP) were
updated to include tailgate events, requiring a specific permit for sportingrelated events where attendees 19 years of age and older may bring and
consume their own alcohol within the permitted area.
Effective April 30, 2026, amendments to Ontario Regulation 747/21 will
expand the eligibility for tailgate event permits to include events designated
by the Municipality as cultural or community events. This change introduces
a new class of permit, Bring-Your-Own (BYO) events. This new definition of
an event includes events on the ground level that are held in connection or in
proximity to a professional, semi-professional or post-secondary sporting
event, or have been designated by a municipal council or their delegates as a
cultural or community event. Approved events would allow of age individuals
to possess and consume liquor brought to the event by the attendee.
Recent changes implemented by the Province on April 30, 2026, have
expanded the eligibility for Tailgate event permits to include public events
that have municipal designation as cultural or community events, introducing
a new class of permit called Bring-Your-Own events. A Municipal designation
of a ‘Community’ or ‘cultural’ event and an approved Bring-Your-Own SOP
from the AGCO would allow attendees age 19 and over to bring and consume
alcohol within permitted areas of community or cultural events such as
Summerfolk, Emancipation Festival, Ribfest, One World Festival, etc.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 2 of 7

Page 76 of 155

Municipalities are not mandated to permit BYO outdoor public events.
Changes to the regulation made by the province enable these types of
events to occur. The Government identified that this change in the regulation
is intended to benefit businesses, organizations, and local tourism by making
public events more accessible and encouraging greater community
participation.
BYO event applicants must provide the AGCO with a letter from the
municipality designating the event as a ‘cultural’ or ‘Community’ event. If the
municipality doesn’t designate an event as a community or cultural event,
the AGCO cannot issue a BYO event SOP. The municipality has no obligation
to designate any events for BYO permit eligibility. Events taking place on
public property would also need authorization through the City of Owen
Sound’s Special Event Application Process (SEAT).
The sale and service of alcohol at special occasions and events open to the
public requiring a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) through the AGCO also
requires Municipal approval or authorization.
The City of Owen Sound’s Strategic Plan encourages the City to play an
active role in facilitating, enhancing and promoting special events in the City.
In order for the City to ensure the health and safety of participants, minimize
municipal risk and liability and protect City facilities and property, the City’s
Municipal Alcohol Policy (CS30) was developed to support the orderly
consumption of alcohol during events and festivals in City facilities and
property.
In response to the expansion of tailgate (now BYO) events, and in
consideration of the April 30, 2026, deadline to have a By-law in place if the
municipality intends to permit these events, regulatory changes and
implications, risk management and public safety, health and social impact, as
well as the potential economic benefits of this expanded permit opportunity,
have been assessed.

Analysis and Options:
Staff have consulted with the Owen Sound Police Services, Grey County EMS,
Grey Bruce Public Health, and internal City divisions as well as other
community event organizers. This consultation has informed the
recommendation not to proceed with a by-law permitting BYO events in the
City of Owen Sound at this time.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 3 of 7

Page 77 of 155

Regulation Changes – Municipal
The City’s current Municipal Alcohol Policy (MAP) doesn’t reference tailgate
events, however for this to be permitted, the MAP would need to be updated
to include tailgating events and expand permissions to include designated
community and cultural events. Given that applicants for BYO events must
cultural or community event before submitting their application to the AGCO,
the municipality would need to develop clear criteria for what events would
fall under these specific categories. The Province of Ontario has not
prescribed procedures for designations; however, has shared examples of
what might be considered community or cultural events, including outdoor
movie screenings, street markets, arts and crafts shows, free outdoor
concerts, fairs, neighbourhood sports tournaments, public performances,
farmer’s markets, and international/religious festivals.
To protect public safety and ensure appropriate risk management practices,
a review of enforcement expectations, conditions of approval and events
requirements would be necessary, with updates made as necessary to
mitigate identified risks.
Risk Management & Public Safety
Key risk considerations identified and not addressed in the regulatory
framework include:









No statutory liability protection for municipalities
Direct conflict with existing Municipal Alcohol Policies
No mandated risk management requirements
Enforcement and administrative burden
Elevated risk of drink tampering or spiking
Cumulative Municipal or County pressures (police/emergency
medical services, equity & public health goals, regional
coordination, migration to permissive municipalities)
Joint and Several Liability exposures

Permitting BYO events in public spaces would significantly undermine
existing safeguards relied upon by the municipality to manage risk, promote
responsible consumption, and protect vulnerable populations.
As outlined in the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019, event organizers are
legally responsible for meeting the AGCO permit conditions.

Staff Report CS-26-035: Bring-Your-Own (BYO) Events – Ontario Reg 747/21
Page 4 of 7

Page 78 of 155

The availability and consumption of alcohol, and the harms associated with
it, directly affect municipal operations and services, including public safety,
enforcement, recreational spaces, and liability, with municipalities often
absorbing the resulting financial and operational costs.
Health and Social Implications
Increased alcohol consumption is strongly linked to significant health and
social harms. High-risk consumption can lead to mental health issues like
depression and increase the risk of partner violence and accidents.
Municipal Consideration and Financial Impacts
Staff reached out and requested comment from Owen Sound Police Services,
Owen Sound Fire Services, Grey-County EMS, Grey Bruce Public Health, and
internal Staff. The feedback was consistent with the recommendation in the
report.
There are no direct financial implications as a result of this report. If Council
votes to permit BYO event permits, there may be financial implications
related to service delivery, including risk management, legal, community and
public events, parks and harbour, police, fire and emergency services.
Conclusion
The AGCO administers the Liquor Licence and Control Act, 2019 which
governs alcohol service in Ontario, including requirements for SOPs
supported by municipal authorization. Effective April 30, 2026, regulatory
amendments will enable municipalities, at their discretion, to designate
certain cultural or community events as eligible for BYO permits, allowing
attendees aged 19 and over to consume personally supplied alcohol within
approved event areas, subject to local by-laws and policies.
From a risk management and public safety perspective, the BYO framework
presents significant concerns. The absence of clear economic benefits,
mandated risk management requirements, and clear enforcement standards
creates exposure for the City. Permitting BYO events would undoubtedly
weaken existing controls, increase pressures on municipal services, and
further highlight known health harms associated with increased alcohol
availability. Given these hazards, Staff recommend that the city not approve
a bylaw to permit BYO events and continue to monitor these changes
Provincially as well as in other communities.

In order to permit a Bring Your Own Event, the municipality is required to
approve a by-law. At this time, no by-law is recommended, and staff
proposes to continue to monitor the approach of other municipalities as well
as provincial changes that may reduce the risk factors.

“Bring-Your-Own” Alcohol at Outdoor Public Events
Health, Safety, and Risk Mitigation Considerations
On March 17, 2026, the Ontario Government announced municipalities may permit “Bring-Your-Own” (BYO) alcoholic
beverages at qualifying outdoor public events, subject to the passage of a municipal bylaw for municipally designated
cultural or community events. (1) Grey Bruce Public Health is providing a public health perspective to support municipal
decision makers by outlining key health, equity, economic, and liability considerations, along with evidence-informed
strategies to decrease alcohol harms to communities. Evidence consistently demonstrates that increased availability and
access to alcohol normalizes use among young people and contributes to elevated levels of drinking and related harm,
ultimately impacting community safety and wellbeing. (2,3,4,5)
This document outlines health and safety considerations:
• Before allowing the BYO permit process in your municipality.
• When developing criteria for BYO permits.
• When administering and implementing BYO permits.
Please note that the guidance provided in this document is not intended to be a substitute for professional legal or liability advice.

Considerations Before Allowing the BYO Permit Process in Your Municipality

•

Allowing BYO alcohol at public events may increase municipal liability unless strong governance, safety controls,
enforcement and insurance requirements are in place. (6)
Considerations:
Obtain legal and insurance advice. (4,6)

•
•
•
•
•
•

Carefully assess local readiness, including consulting with local alcohol/drug strategies, emergency services,
enforcement and community safety and well-being partnerships. (6)
Review and align existing internal processes, event permit frameworks, and Municipal Alcohol Policies (MAPs). (6)
Assess whether existing staffing, enforcement capacity and cost recovery mechanisms are adequate to support BYO
events (e.g., paid duty or dedicated security requirements). (6)
Develop a monitoring and evaluation plan using multiple data sources, and ongoing public input. (4)
Clarify the requirements and responsibilities of permit holders within new/revised bylaws (e.g., Smart Serve trained
persons onsite at all times). (6,7)
Review the AGCO Guidelines. (7)

Considerations for Developing Criteria for BYO Permits
Define community and cultural
events for BYO permits intentionally.

•
•

•

Set criteria for BYO permits that meet
municipal requirements to support
health, safety, and wellbeing.
•

Municipal definitions should:
Ensure definitions align with community safety and well-being goals.
Exclude family-focused events where children and youth may be
present, and at locations primarily frequented by children (e.g.
playgrounds, sports fields, splash pads, libraries, and schools).
(4,6,8)
Include only locations with demonstrated safety and suitability for
alcohol consumption (see below).
BYO permits should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, rather
than through blanket approvals and should avoid creating cultural or
safety barriers for non-drinkers. (6)
Criteria:
Restrict locations such as:

•

o Child-related environments: playgrounds, wading pools,
splash pads, or skateboard and BMX parks, etc. (4,6,8)
o Inherently unsafe environments: outdoor pools, natural or
outdoor ice rinks, other bodies of water, etc. (4,8)
o In conjunction with higher risk activities. (4)
Exclude events where alcohol use would reasonably increase
nuisance, risk, or inequity. (4,6,9)
Restrict hours for when the event can take place. (3,4,9)
Require locations to have access to drinking water, washrooms,
garbage, recycling, and public transportation, if available. (4,8)

Considerations for Administering and Implementing BYO Permits
Apply a risk reduction approach.
•

•
•
•
•

Consider incorporating the following risk reduction strategies:
Restrict where alcohol can be consumed within the permit.
Designate separate areas where alcohol can be consumed and
maintain substantial alcohol-free areas with a physical barrier and
signage. Ensure equal enjoyment of the event by all members,
drinking and non-drinking. (6,7)
Only allow 19+ years in designated drinking areas. (7)
Prohibit glass alcohol bottles to prevent injury from broken
containers. (4,7)
Require food and non-alcoholic beverages to be available for
purchase. (2,10,11)
Require personal consumption limits consistent with Ontario
regulations intended to prevent intoxication and over-service at
events. (2,6,10,11,12,13)

Adapted with permission from the Ontario Municipal Alcohol Policy Working Group, for more information please contact h.innes@publichealthgreybruce.on.ca

PagePage
3 of 6 84 of 155

•
•
Conduct comprehensive monitoring
and evaluation.

•
•
•
Signage and public education.
•
•
•

Enforce a zero-tolerance standard for disorderly conduct, public
intoxication, and underage drinking. (6,11)
Establish an emergency response plan, including procedures for
intoxication, injury, and crowd management.
Monitor and evaluate community harms and costs (e.g., public
safety/security, liability, trash collection, signage, and/or employee
time). (4)
Consider post-event reports and compliance reviews to:
Address complaints and incidents. (6)
Assess enforcement effectiveness. (6)
Inform future event approvals and policy adjustments. (6)
At a minimum, a Sandy’s Law poster should be posted at the event.
(14) Consider the following as well:
Public education measures that inform the public when permits are
required for events involving BYO alcohol.
Signage on not driving impaired with local taxi or public transit
information.
Canadian Centre for Substance use and Addiction’s Poster.

8.e Report CS-26-039 from the Manager of Arena Operations Re: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use

The Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club requests City consent to convert an unused section of the Bayshore Community Centre into a maintenance shop to upgrade locker room amenities like saunas, cold tubs, and video suites. This renovation aligns with OHL standards requiring enhanced kitchens, heat therapy areas, and professional health support by 2026-27. The club intends to cover all renovation and property tax costs but currently seeks approval to avoid immediate additional payments for the new space, though this specific request remains undecided. To accommodate the club's new operations within the existing building, the City must relocate its maintenance office to a vacant area and move the Zambobi. Construction work is scheduled for the off-season to limit public disruption. Simultaneously, the OHL is finalizing a formal enforcement plan with consultant verifications to ensure arena owners meet new facility requirements for athlete retention. While the city has started foundation work on the Harbour West project and issued building permits in April 2026 valued at $1.96 million, the Attack's proposal reflects a broader push toward higher standards that will shift internal workflows and staff resources until operations are reconfigured.

The Attack approached the City with a proposal to expand their
dressing room space, into the current Building and Property
Maintenance shop located at the Bayshore Community Centre.
100% of the renovation costs would be borne by the Attack Hockey
Club; for their expanded area and any required renovations to the
City’s portion of the facility.

Hockey Club. That agreement provides the following section on Facility Use
that is helpful in considering this request:
The Club shall not alter, improve or renovate any portion of the
Community Centre being used by the Club without having obtained
prior written consent from the City. All alterations, improvements
and/or additions will be at the sole expense of the Club and shall
become the absolute property of the City.
Further, the Club shall not remove any improvements, alterations
and/or additions without the prior written approval of the City;
The Club shall be responsible to remove capital improvements, at the
request of the City, at the expiry or termination of this Lease and to
undertake repairs as required;
The Club shall obtain and sign for each key issued by the City for the
Facilities and shall not duplicate any keys issued; and
The Club acknowledges that the City has the right to redesign,
relocate, renovate, upgrade, demolish, etc., any part or parts of the
Community Centre. Following any such redesign, relocation,
renovation, upgrade or demolition, etc., Schedule "B” hereto shall be
amended, dated and, acknowledged in writing by the Parties and such
amended Schedule "B" shall replace the previous Schedule "B"
attached hereto.

Analysis and Options:
Based on the updated OHL Guidelines, the Attack Hockey Club has requested
that the City (Attachment 2) provide additional space within the existing
building footprint for use as part of its player lounge, in addition to the
existing coaches' office, school room, physiotherapy/treatment room, and
education rooms.
The conceptual space layout is shown in Attachment 3 and includes a kitchen
area and lounge.
The space within the Bayshore Community Centre being requested is shown
in Attachment 4. The space measures 22’ x 33’ (approximately 726 square
Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club

feet). This space is currently occupied by the City’s Facilities Division Staff.
The Manager of Arena Operations and Building and Property Maintenance
Lead Hand met with the Attack to review options and alternatives to
accommodate this request that would meet the need for additional space and
have a minimal disruption to City arena and facility operations.
To accommodate the request, the City’s space and operation will be modified
as follows:








Building and Property Maintenance office will be relocated to a
vacant office beside the Manager of Arena Operations. An outside
door will be added along with a staff area, with an additional door
being installed from the Manager of Arena Operations office direct
to the west hallway;
Zamboni parking and fuelling/water filling area will be relocated
adjacent to the ice surface. This will require the relocation of a large
roll-up door and sprinkler piping;
Some storage for both Bayshore Operations and Facilities Division
operations will be relocated to the East side Boat launch building;
and
The Arena and facilities staff will consolidate their shop areas and
enhance resource sharing.

A sketch of the updated allocation of space is shown in Attachment 5.
This information has been provided to the Attack Hockey Club.
Based on the direction provided by the Agreement, the Club will be
responsible for:







Producing construction drawings for the renovations and
alterations, including engineered stamped drawings as required by
the Ontario Building Code;
Obtaining necessary permits from the City for this work;
Coordinating with the City on the timing of the work such that it
has a minimal impact on City staff operations;
Contracting with a qualified contractor to undertake this work, with
required insurance naming the City as insured; and
The Attack will be 100% responsible for the costs associated with
the contract, drawings, permitting and construction for both the
Attack space and City space.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The City has an agreement with the Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club that
establishes the financial relationship as the City’s major tenant in the
building as well as with respect to the costs relating to this proposed change.
All costs including the renovation required in the City space, as noted, will be
the responsibility of the Attack Hockey Club.

Human Resources
The timing and scheduling of the work will require time from both Arena
Operations staff and Facilities staff to move and relocate the items that
currently occupy the workshop space.

Time and Scheduling
One of the conditions of approval relates to coordinating with the City
respecting timing. It is important for the work to be scheduled to ensure
minimal impact on City staff, arena operations and public use.
It is recommended that the City portion of the work be completed during the
off season.

Climate and Environmental Impacts:

Owen Sound Attack
Major Junior “A” Hockey Club
1900 3rd Avenue East
P.O. Box 1420
Owen Sound, ON N4K 6T5
Phone: (519) 371-7452

To: City of Owen Sound Community Services Committee
Request to use additional space at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre
Why do we need this space?
The Owen Sound Attack Franchise is a member of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The OHL has
released “The OHL Standard: Our Blueprint for Excellence”. The benefit is that each player will have a
similar positive physical environment regardless of which team they play for. In order to do this the OHL is
mandating minimum dressing room standards that each team must comply with. Our players area is very
good but is missing a kitchen and players social area. Expanding the dressing room and surrounding area is
necessary for the team to become compliant. In addition to this requirement, we wish to make the update in
order to remain an attractive location for players. Having a modern and comfortable dressing room is an
important tool to attract and retain players in the league so that the Attack can remain competitive.
For your information we have attached a copy of the OHL’s document regarding the Blueprint for
Excellence. The facility requirements are covered on pages 4 and 5. The executive summary at the back
provides additional information and a few photos of what some other teams in the OHL and NCAA are
providing for their payers.
We are aware there are other spaces available in the building that are vacant at the present time. Those areas
do not suit our needs because they are not in the same area as the dressing room and player supervision
would be difficult. One important note is that OHL dressing rooms are to be designed so that players pass
the Coaches’ office’s as they come to and leave from the dressing room. Using the requested space ensures
this occurs.
Renovation costs and proposed layout
The team intends to cover 100% of the renovation costs except the removal of the items that are currently
stored in the proposed area. An estimate from Graham Construction as well as a layout for the area is
attached.
Financial
The team proposes this expansion be handled outside the current lease agreement. We will pay the property
taxes associated with the expansion of the dressing room area. We request that the team will not have to
make any additional payments for this area at this time.
Attachments:
• Drawing of main floor of Bayshore identifying the areas currently used by the Attack and the
requested additional space
• Drawing of layout of additional space
• Quote for modifications to the space

8.e.1 Report CS-26-039 from the Manager of Arena Operations Re: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use

Staff addressed safety concerns regarding informal running in the Bayshore Upper Concourse, noting the floor was not designed for exercise and poses liability risks to walkers and those with mobility issues. A risk assessment led to new Conditions of Use restricting the space to walking only, prohibiting exercise equipment and commercial use, while allowing strollers and requiring adult supervision for children under 13. The City rejected proposals to close the area for running, citing revenue loss and the inability to guarantee safety in a shared public space. New signage funded by the operating budget will be installed to enforce these guidelines.

THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-039 respecting usage of the
Bayshore Upper Concourse, the Community Services Committee
recommends that City Council receive the report for information purposes.

Highlights:




Staff identified unsafe activities taking place in the upper concourse
of the J.D. McArthur Arena in January 2026.
Staff completed a risk assessment to help develop Conditions of
Use for the concourse area for all users.
The Conditions of Use will be posted throughout the upper
concourse at the Bayshore Community Centre.

Vision 2050 - Strategic Plan Alignment:
Strategic Plan Priority: Safe City – Contributing to inclusivity and accessibility
in our community and participating in initiatives focused on a range of longterm, systemic safety solutions that respond to current and future residents.
These Conditions of Use align with this strategic priority by enhancing
inclusivity and accessibility within the facility and implementing measures
that support both immediate and long-term safety for users of the upper
concourse.

Staff Report CS-26-039: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use
Page 1 of 5

Page 88 of 155

Previous Report/Authority:
None.

Background:
During the 2003 renovation of the Bayshore, a rubberized floor was installed.
Since that time, the upper concourse has been used informally for walking
while the building is open. The intent of this space has been to provide a safe
indoor walking area during poor weather months; however, it was not
designed or intended for running or other forms of exercise.
On January 12, 2026, Arena staff observed a group of young athletes
conducting high-speed sprints and other running activities in the upper
concourse area of the J.D. McArthur Arena at the Harry Lumley Bayshore
Community Centre. Staff approached the students’ running coach and raised
concerns regarding the safety of the activities taking place, requesting that
they not continue in this area. The City did not have a rental agreement or
insurance from this user group. At the time, staff cited concerns related to
the speed of the runners, noting that other users of the space include an
older demographic as well as individuals with mobility issues. Additionally,
people attending an on-ice or on-floor activity may be walking to their seat
or washroom. Walkers using the space have not created a conflict with other
facility patrons or a significant safety risk. In the past, walkers were able to
use the space informally during other events, except for when the facility
was hosting a ticketed event such as an Attack game or concert, when
walking was not permitted. Staff notes that the facility was not purpose-built
for these types of activities, which pose a potential liability risk.
The running coach requested a meeting with City staff. A meeting was held
January 29, 2026, to discuss the concerns and proposed use of the
concourse space. At that time, staff outlined the risks associated with the
activities being proposed, citing the Ontario Recreation Facilities Association
guidelines for indoor spaces in Recreation Centres, as well as the City’s
insurance provider’s perspective:



Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act, the City has a duty to take
reasonable steps to protect those who enter its facilities.
Where a risk is identified, the City is required to conduct a risk
assessment and take appropriate corrective action to manage or
mitigate that risk.

Staff Report CS-26-039: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use
Page 2 of 5

Page 89 of 155








The risk of user and patron injury increases when individuals are
permitted to run through seating areas or hallways while others are
using the same space.
The floor surface is not a track, but a vinyl/rubberized flooring not
designed for running or sprinting.
Temperature and humidity conditions within the facility may further
increase safety concerns for the athletes, particularly around
corners and turns.
Restricting public access to the concourse to accommodate this
activity would result in a loss of revenue for the City and reduce
availability for other users.

Analysis and Options:
Following the meeting with the running coach, staff completed a risk
assessment of the upper concourse space. Based on this outcome, staff
developed Conditions of Use, which will be implemented and updated by staff
in accordance with the Ontario Recreation Facilities Association (ORFA) best
practices. The Concourse Conditions of Use include the following:









Walking only, running is not permitted.
Exercise on stairs is not permitted.
Strollers are permitted.
Indoor, non-marking footwear is recommended.
Commercial use or private instructional use is not permitted.
Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.
Teams warming up must have a coach or adult present.
The following items are not permitted: hockey sticks, balls or
pucks, exercise mats, weights, skipping ropes, or any other
exercise equipment.

As part of this process, staff reviewed practices at comparable recreation
facilities, including both purpose-built and non-purpose-built walking areas.
This review informed the development of consistent, overarching guidelines
intended to align the use of the upper concourse with its primary function as
a walking area.
The assessment identified that permitting multiple activities within the
concourse at the same time increases the likelihood of an incident and
potential injury. As a result, the conditions of use are intended to restrict
activities outside of walking, thereby reducing risk and improving overall
safety for all users.
Staff Report CS-26-039: Bayshore Upper Concourse Use – Conditions of Use
Page 3 of 5

Page 90 of 155

It was suggested by the running coach that the City could close the arena
area to the public at certain times of the day to allow the running use in the
concourse. This does not address the safety issue identified relating to the
type of floor and temperature conditions; and would result in a loss of
revenue for the City and loss of ice time available. As this is a public space,
during minor sports or heavier facility use, it is not conceivable to block off
times for specific running or other activities, as there is no way to guarantee
potential interference from members of the public or spectators. Walking can
still happen during these busier facility usages and pose much lower to no
additional risk.
Staff will continue to observe activity on the concourse as operationally
feasible and apply the conditions of use to promote compliance and maintain
a safe environment, users not following the conditions of use may be asked
to leave the facility.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
There will be some costs incurred to produce and hang new signage with the
Conditions of Use in the upper concourse. This would be funded through the
Bayshore operating budget.

Human Resources
Staff will continue to monitor the space as operationally feasible; with no
additional resources required.

Time and Scheduling
Upon approval of the Conditions of Use, the signage will be produced
immediately.
The signage will be installed during the summer months.

8.e.2 Report CS-26-026 from the Manager of Arena Operations Re: Facility Space Request from the Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club

The Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club requests renovations at the Bayshore Community Centre to meet new Ontario Hockey League health and facility standards set for the 2026-27 season. These league-wide mandates require all 20 teams to install dedicated rehabilitation spaces with ice machines, heat therapy like saunas, and professional kitchen amenities by the specified deadline. The OHL also mandates weekly access to mental health experts and full-time nutritionists starting in 2025-26. The club must finance all upgrades, covering costs within the existing 10-year lease while maintaining ownership until terms change. Specific construction will include converting vacant shop spaces into recovery areas, ensuring separate ventilation, and adding recovery equipment like Normatech boots. Logistics rules now require teams to stay in minimum 3-star hotels and rest during long travel, with plans to upgrade to 4-star accommodations. A Billet Advisory Committee will oversee housing standards, while surveys will guide future improvements. Construction permits for this project align with broader city efforts in April 2026, which saw $1.96 million in reported construction value. The city will coordinate timing, likely during the off-season, to minimize disruption while implementing these compliance measures aimed at player well-being.

THAT in consideration of Staff Report CS-26-026 respecting a request from
the Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club, the Community Services Committee
recommends that City Council approve the request for additional space at
the Bayshore Community Centre (approximately 726 square feet) for player
space, subject to the following:
1.

Producing construction drawings for the renovations and
alterations, including engineered stamped drawings as required by
the Ontario Building Code;

2.

Obtaining necessary permits from the City for this work;

3.

Coordinating with the City on the timing of the work such that it
has a minimal impact on City staff operations;

4.

Contracting with a qualified contractor to undertake the work with
the required insurance; and

5.

The Attack assuming 100% responsibility for all costs associated
with the contract, drawings, permitting and construction for both
the Attack space and the City space.

Highlights:


The Ontario Hockey League has issued a new document, aimed at
enhancing 3 pillars of player experience.

Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club

Page 93 of 155





The Attack approached the City with a proposal to expand their
dressing room space, into the current Building and Property
Maintenance shop located at the Bayshore Community Centre.
100% of the renovation costs would be borne by the Attack Hockey
Club; for their expanded area and any required renovations to the
City’s portion of the facility.

Strategic Plan Priority: Prosperous City – Supporting initiatives that increase
competitive economic advantages for current and new businesses and their

Previous Report/Authority:
CM-25-024 Report from the City Manager Re: City of Owen Sound and Owen
Sound Attack 10-Year Agreement (2024-2034)

Background:
The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) has issued a new document: “Our
Blueprint for Excellence” (Attachment 1). This is a strategic guide to
implementing the Player Experience Committee requirements outlining the
comprehensive plan approved by the OHL Board of Governors to maintain
the OHL as the world’s premier development league. The guide is intended to
further enhance the environment, health and logistical support provided to
all players in the OHL. The guideline aims to enhance 3 key pillars of the OHL
player experience:






Elevating Player Well-Being
Creating a holistic support system that addresses the physical,
mental and personal needs of every athlete.
Optimizing On-Ice Performance
Providing elite-level resources, from coaching and analytics to
nutrition and recovery, to maximize player potential.
Securing Our Premier Status
Proactively investing in players and facilities to attract the best
talent and set the global standards for junior hockey development.

There are 4 pillars of enhancement, including Facilities and Environment,
Health, Wellness and Performance, Travel and Logistics, and League
Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club
Page 2 of 6

Page 94 of 155

Structure and Administration. The standards include two tiers – Mandatory
and Best Practice.
In 2024, the City entered into a new 10-year Agreement with the Attack
Hockey Club. That agreement provides the following section on Facility Use
that is helpful in considering this request:
The Club shall not alter, improve or renovate any portion of the
Community Centre being used by the Club without having obtained
prior written consent from the City. All alterations, improvements
and/or additions will be at the sole expense of the Club and shall
become the absolute property of the City.
Further, the Club shall not remove any improvements, alterations
and/or additions without the prior written approval of the City;
The Club shall be responsible to remove capital improvements, at the
request of the City, at the expiry or termination of this Lease and to
undertake repairs as required;
The Club shall obtain and sign for each key issued by the City for the
Facilities and shall not duplicate any keys issued; and
The Club acknowledges that the City has the right to redesign,
relocate, renovate, upgrade, demolish, etc., any part or parts of the
Community Centre. Following any such redesign, relocation,
renovation, upgrade or demolition, etc., Schedule "B” hereto shall be
amended, dated and, acknowledged in writing by the Parties and such
amended Schedule "B" shall replace the previous Schedule "B"
attached hereto.

Analysis and Options:
Based on the updated OHL Guidelines, the Attack Hockey Club has requested
that the City (Attachment 2) provide additional space within the existing
building footprint for use as part of its player lounge, in addition to the
existing coaches' office, school room, physiotherapy/treatment room, and
education rooms.
The conceptual space layout is shown in Attachment 3 and includes a kitchen
area and lounge.
The space within the Bayshore Community Centre being requested is shown
in Attachment 4. The space measures 22’ x 33’ (approximately 726 square
Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club
Page 3 of 6

Page 95 of 155

feet). This space is currently occupied by the City’s Facilities Division Staff.
The Manager of Arena Operations and Building and Property Maintenance
Lead Hand met with the Attack to review options and alternatives to
accommodate this request that would meet the need for additional space and
have a minimal disruption to City arena and facility operations.
To accommodate the request, the City’s space and operation will be modified
as follows:








Building and Property Maintenance office will be relocated to a
vacant office beside the Manager of Arena Operations. An outside
door will be added along with a staff area, with an additional door
being installed from the Manager of Arena Operations office direct
to the west hallway;
Zamboni parking and fuelling/water filling area will be relocated
adjacent to the ice surface. This will require the relocation of a large
roll-up door and sprinkler piping;
Some storage for both Bayshore Operations and Facilities Division
operations will be relocated to the East side Boat launch building;
and
The Arena and facilities staff will consolidate their shop areas and
enhance resource sharing.

A sketch of the updated allocation of space is shown in Attachment 5.
This information has been provided to the Attack Hockey Club.
Based on the direction provided by the Agreement, the Club will be
responsible for:







Producing construction drawings for the renovations and
alterations, including engineered stamped drawings as required by
the Ontario Building Code;
Obtaining necessary permits from the City for this work;
Coordinating with the City on the timing of the work such that it
has a minimal impact on City staff operations;
Contracting with a qualified contractor to undertake this work, with
required insurance naming the City as insured; and
The Attack will be 100% responsible for the costs associated with
the contract, drawings, permitting and construction for both the
Attack space and City space.

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The City has an agreement with the Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club that
establishes the financial relationship as the City’s major tenant in the
building as well as with respect to the costs relating to this proposed change.
All costs including the renovation required in the City space, as noted, will be
the responsibility of the Attack Hockey Club.

Human Resources
The timing and scheduling of the work will require time from both Arena
Operations staff and Facilities staff to move and relocate the items that
currently occupy the workshop space.

Time and Scheduling
One of the conditions of approval relates to coordinating with the City
respecting timing. It is important for the work to be scheduled to ensure
minimal impact on City staff, arena operations and public use.
It is recommended that the City portion of the work be completed during the
off season.

Owen Sound Attack
Major Junior “A” Hockey Club
1900 3rd Avenue East
P.O. Box 1420
Owen Sound, ON N4K 6T5
Phone: (519) 371-7452

To: City of Owen Sound Community Services Committee
Request to use additional space at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre
Why do we need this space?
The Owen Sound Attack Franchise is a member of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The OHL has
released “The OHL Standard: Our Blueprint for Excellence”. The benefit is that each player will have a
similar positive physical environment regardless of which team they play for. In order to do this the OHL is
mandating minimum dressing room standards that each team must comply with. Our players area is very
good but is missing a kitchen and players social area. Expanding the dressing room and surrounding area is
necessary for the team to become compliant. In addition to this requirement, we wish to make the update in
order to remain an attractive location for players. Having a modern and comfortable dressing room is an
important tool to attract and retain players in the league so that the Attack can remain competitive.
For your information we have attached a copy of the OHL’s document regarding the Blueprint for
Excellence. The facility requirements are covered on pages 4 and 5. The executive summary at the back
provides additional information and a few photos of what some other teams in the OHL and NCAA are
providing for their payers.
We are aware there are other spaces available in the building that are vacant at the present time. Those areas
do not suit our needs because they are not in the same area as the dressing room and player supervision
would be difficult. One important note is that OHL dressing rooms are to be designed so that players pass
the Coaches’ office’s as they come to and leave from the dressing room. Using the requested space ensures
this occurs.
Renovation costs and proposed layout
The team intends to cover 100% of the renovation costs except the removal of the items that are currently
stored in the proposed area. An estimate from Graham Construction as well as a layout for the area is
attached.
Financial
The team proposes this expansion be handled outside the current lease agreement. We will pay the property
taxes associated with the expansion of the dressing room area. We request that the team will not have to
make any additional payments for this area at this time.
Attachments:
• Drawing of main floor of Bayshore identifying the areas currently used by the Attack and the
requested additional space
• Drawing of layout of additional space
• Quote for modifications to the space

The Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club proposed expanding its dressing room into the Bayshore Community Centre's Building and Property Maintenance shop, a space currently occupied by City staff. To accommodate this request while adhering to the OHL's 'Blueprint for Excellence' standards, the City agreed to relocate its maintenance office, Zamboni parking, and storage to alternative locations within the facility. The Attack Hockey Club agreed to bear 100% of the renovation costs, including engineering, permitting, and construction, ensuring the work is completed during the off-season to minimize disruption to City operations.

City’s portion of the facility.

Vision 2050 - Strategic Plan Alignment:
Strategic Plan Priority: Prosperous City – Supporting initiatives that increase
competitive economic advantages for current and new businesses and their
employees.

Previous Report/Authority:
CM-25-024 Report from the City Manager Re: City of Owen Sound and Owen
Sound Attack 10-Year Agreement (2024-2034)

Background:
The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) has issued a new document: “Our
Blueprint for Excellence” (Attachment 1). This is a strategic guide to
implementing the Player Experience Committee requirements outlining the
comprehensive plan approved by the OHL Board of Governors to maintain
the OHL as the world’s premier development league. The guide is intended to
further enhance the environment, health and logistical support provided to
all players in the OHL. The guideline aims to enhance 3 key pillars of the OHL
player experience:






Elevating Player Well-Being
Creating a holistic support system that addresses the physical,
mental and personal needs of every athlete.
Optimizing On-Ice Performance
Providing elite-level resources, from coaching and analytics to
nutrition and recovery, to maximize player potential.
Securing Our Premier Status
Proactively investing in players and facilities to attract the best
talent and set the global standards for junior hockey development.

There are 4 pillars of enhancement, including Facilities and Environment,
Health, Wellness and Performance, Travel and Logistics, and League
Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club

Structure and Administration. The standards include two tiers – Mandatory
and Best Practice.
In 2024, the City entered into a new 10-year Agreement with the Attack
Hockey Club. That agreement provides the following section on Facility Use
that is helpful in considering this request:
The Club shall not alter, improve or renovate any portion of the
Community Centre being used by the Club without having obtained
prior written consent from the City. All alterations, improvements
and/or additions will be at the sole expense of the Club and shall
become the absolute property of the City.
Further, the Club shall not remove any improvements, alterations
and/or additions without the prior written approval of the City;
The Club shall be responsible to remove capital improvements, at the
request of the City, at the expiry or termination of this Lease and to
undertake repairs as required;
The Club shall obtain and sign for each key issued by the City for the
Facilities and shall not duplicate any keys issued; and
The Club acknowledges that the City has the right to redesign,
relocate, renovate, upgrade, demolish, etc., any part or parts of the
Community Centre. Following any such redesign, relocation,
renovation, upgrade or demolition, etc., Schedule "B” hereto shall be
amended, dated and, acknowledged in writing by the Parties and such
amended Schedule "B" shall replace the previous Schedule "B"
attached hereto.

Analysis and Options:
Based on the updated OHL Guidelines, the Attack Hockey Club has requested
that the City (Attachment 2) provide additional space within the existing
building footprint for use as part of its player lounge, in addition to the
existing coaches' office, school room, physiotherapy/treatment room, and
education rooms.
The conceptual space layout is shown in Attachment 3 and includes a kitchen
area and lounge.
The space within the Bayshore Community Centre being requested is shown
in Attachment 4. The space measures 22’ x 33’ (approximately 726 square
Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club
Page 3 of 6

Page 95 of 155

feet). This space is currently occupied by the City’s Facilities Division Staff.
The Manager of Arena Operations and Building and Property Maintenance
Lead Hand met with the Attack to review options and alternatives to
accommodate this request that would meet the need for additional space and
have a minimal disruption to City arena and facility operations.
To accommodate the request, the City’s space and operation will be modified
as follows:








Building and Property Maintenance office will be relocated to a
vacant office beside the Manager of Arena Operations. An outside
door will be added along with a staff area, with an additional door
being installed from the Manager of Arena Operations office direct
to the west hallway;
Zamboni parking and fuelling/water filling area will be relocated
adjacent to the ice surface. This will require the relocation of a large
roll-up door and sprinkler piping;
Some storage for both Bayshore Operations and Facilities Division
operations will be relocated to the East side Boat launch building;
and
The Arena and facilities staff will consolidate their shop areas and
enhance resource sharing.

A sketch of the updated allocation of space is shown in Attachment 5.
This information has been provided to the Attack Hockey Club.
Based on the direction provided by the Agreement, the Club will be
responsible for:







Producing construction drawings for the renovations and
alterations, including engineered stamped drawings as required by
the Ontario Building Code;
Obtaining necessary permits from the City for this work;
Coordinating with the City on the timing of the work such that it
has a minimal impact on City staff operations;
Contracting with a qualified contractor to undertake this work, with
required insurance naming the City as insured; and
The Attack will be 100% responsible for the costs associated with
the contract, drawings, permitting and construction for both the
Attack space and City space.

Staff Report CS-26-026: Request from Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club
Page 4 of 6

Page 96 of 155

Resource Alignment:
Financial Resources
The City has an agreement with the Owen Sound Attack Hockey Club that
establishes the financial relationship as the City’s major tenant in the
building as well as with respect to the costs relating to this proposed change.
All costs including the renovation required in the City space, as noted, will be
the responsibility of the Attack Hockey Club.

Human Resources
The timing and scheduling of the work will require time from both Arena
Operations staff and Facilities staff to move and relocate the items that
currently occupy the workshop space.

Time and Scheduling
One of the conditions of approval relates to coordinating with the City
respecting timing. It is important for the work to be scheduled to ensure
minimal impact on City staff, arena operations and public use.
It is recommended that the City portion of the work be completed during the
off season.

Technology and Infrastructure
N/A

Climate and Environmental Impacts:
There are no anticipated climate or environmental impacts.

Owen Sound Attack
Major Junior “A” Hockey Club
1900 3rd Avenue East
P.O. Box 1420
Owen Sound, ON N4K 6T5
Phone: (519) 371-7452

To: City of Owen Sound Community Services Committee
Request to use additional space at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre
Why do we need this space?
The Owen Sound Attack Franchise is a member of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The OHL has
released “The OHL Standard: Our Blueprint for Excellence”. The benefit is that each player will have a
similar positive physical environment regardless of which team they play for. In order to do this the OHL is
mandating minimum dressing room standards that each team must comply with. Our players area is very
good but is missing a kitchen and players social area. Expanding the dressing room and surrounding area is
necessary for the team to become compliant. In addition to this requirement, we wish to make the update in
order to remain an attractive location for players. Having a modern and comfortable dressing room is an
important tool to attract and retain players in the league so that the Attack can remain competitive.
For your information we have attached a copy of the OHL’s document regarding the Blueprint for
Excellence. The facility requirements are covered on pages 4 and 5. The executive summary at the back
provides additional information and a few photos of what some other teams in the OHL and NCAA are
providing for their payers.
We are aware there are other spaces available in the building that are vacant at the present time. Those areas
do not suit our needs because they are not in the same area as the dressing room and player supervision
would be difficult. One important note is that OHL dressing rooms are to be designed so that players pass
the Coaches’ office’s as they come to and leave from the dressing room. Using the requested space ensures
this occurs.
Renovation costs and proposed layout
The team intends to cover 100% of the renovation costs except the removal of the items that are currently
stored in the proposed area. An estimate from Graham Construction as well as a layout for the area is
attached.
Financial
The team proposes this expansion be handled outside the current lease agreement. We will pay the property
taxes associated with the expansion of the dressing room area. We request that the team will not have to
make any additional payments for this area at this time.
Attachments:
• Drawing of main floor of Bayshore identifying the areas currently used by the Attack and the
requested additional space
• Drawing of layout of additional space
• Quote for modifications to the space
• “The OHL Standard: Our Blueprint for Excellence”

11.a Memorandum from the Chief Building Official and Manager of Planning and Heritage Re

The section details a proposed office expansion and interior modification for a warehouse facility located on Lots 60 and 61 in Owen Sound, governed by the City of Owen Sound zoning (M2) and Ontario Building Code 2024 standards. The project involves significant structural and civil works, including new asphalt paving, concrete sidewalks with specific curb treatments, and the installation of a sprinkler system to support a mixed-use classification of Group F, Division 3 and Group D. Occupancy calculations indicate a total load of 84 persons across 29 offices and 53 workstations, requiring 56 parking stalls, with specific provisions for accessible parking and barrier-free design. The building is classified as non-combustible with a 3/4-hour fire resistance rating, situated in Seismic Category SC2 where seismic design is not required for specific items. The plan emphasizes accessibility features such as dropped curbs at entrances, tactile walking surface indicators, and guide rails, while strictly prohibiting the storage of hazardous fuels on-site to ensure public safety.

11.c Site Plan DA-26-002 - 1177 1st Avenue East - Rexel Westburne

The site plan approval for the Rexel Westburne project at 1177 1st Avenue East mandates strict engineering oversight for retaining walls over 0.6 metres or on property lines, requiring consulting engineer approval and advance city inspections for designated structures. Construction activities must strictly conform to the approved grading plan, with the owner responsible for managing environmental risks such as underground fuel tanks, contaminated soil, and abandoned wells, necessitating immediate notification and remediation per Ontario regulations. Specific conditions include providing construction photos for infiltration galleries prior to backfilling, maintaining tree protection hoarding to prevent material stockpiling, and obtaining consent for any boundary trees before removal to resolve potential civil issues between adjoining landowners.

11.d Site Plan DA-26-003 - 2753 15th Street East - BGCDSB

Owen Sound approved a site plan amendment for an office addition at 2795 East Bayshore Road, though this decision appears in a document focused on a new high school project nearby. The approved proposal involves adding approximately 1,082 square metres to an existing industrial building and reconfiguring parking areas. This approval specifically amends prior Site Plan Approval File No. ST2016-002 held by Knecht & Berchtold Inc. Staff recommendations included comments from relevant agencies and the development team. The City Director, Pamela Coulter, issued the approval effective May 7, 2026, subject to conditions outlined in the accompanying staff report Schedule F. Applicants are reminded that this decision is based on the information provided during the review process, and future submissions may be required if subsequent changes occur.
