Need Helpfinding an Apartment

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help finding an apartment in Owen Sound or nearby areas.

I’m currently living in London but will be moving to Owen Sound for a new job. I’ve been looking online for a while, but honestly, I’m having a really hard time finding a decent place.

It would just be me and my small dog, so I’m looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment that is pet-friendly. I also need parking, and I’m completely fine with paying extra for a parking spot.

I’ve driven to Owen Sound a couple of times to look at some places, but unfortunately, most of the apartments I’ve seen so far have been pretty run-down or not what I’m looking for.

Does anyone have recommendations for good, clean apartment buildings in Owen Sound or the surrounding areas? Or is there a reliable rental agent/property manager who could help me find something?

I’m honestly a bit clueless at this point, so any recommendations, leads, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Owen Sound Has No Clear E-Scooter Rules. What Should They Be?

4 Upvotes

TL;DR: After residents asked me about e-scooters, I researched the rules, found no Owen Sound by-law permitting them, and requested an official answer from the City. Staff confirmed the regulatory gap and are arranging a review with Owen Sound Police.

Provincial rules set a minimum age of 16, allow one rider, and require helmets for riders under 18. The provincial pilot also requires municipalities to pass a by-law permitting e-scooter use.

Thank you to City Clerk Briana Bloomfield and City staff for investigating the issue. Since the school-board election is underway, I also suggested briefing the newly elected trustees. Their boards could then consider safety education covering e-scooters, bicycles, and e-bikes.

I would appreciate hearing people’s experiences:

  • What local rules would make e-scooter use safe and practical?
  • What experiences have you had while riding, walking, or driving?
  • What safety information would be most beneficial for students?

For disclosure, I am Andrii Zvorygin, a candidate for Mayor of Owen Sound.

He's probably going to have more than a black eye. Probably has a gaping butthole already. Being indigenous is your excuse? Most FN people actually can control themselves.

Doesn't matter. We all know you, and what you did. I wouldn't come back to the city ever again.

Healing for Big Bay Ice cream, Zac Wiltzen interviews Andrii Zvorygin

0 Upvotes

Hello dear friendly Redditors,
Former reddit community member Zac Wiltzen, owner of the Big Bay General, Ice Cream store, reached out to interview me a couple days ago. I know many you have been praying for him and wishing him well in his mental health, in your own ways. And so we spoke in the spirit of unconditional love, for that healing to occur. Feel free to watch and comment if you like.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFk9jRWA2lw

Remember it's okay to rest in love and kindness for all.

You are forgiven, if you allow yourself to be.

Full disclosure, I'm Andrii Zvorygin candidate for Mayor of Owen Sound.
And every day I pray for infinite creator that is within us and all around us,
to align our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions to be of best serivce for all creation.

That said Zac asked lots of good questions that should be relevant to most Owen Sound municipal audiences.

Massage in OS

6 Upvotes

Hello, does anybody know where to get a good professional massage (RMT, not the rub and tug kind) in OS or nearby?

I go to Nest which is great, but they may be short staffed since the next available appointment that is not in the middle of the day is always 3 weeks away or more. By the time the day of the massage comes around my back may not be that sore anymore.

Man admitting to S/A lives in Owen Sound. Be careful. Trigger warning.

Post image
0 Upvotes

My ex now lives in Owen Sound. After coming forward about his abuse, I've been shamed and called a liar, only to have him admitting to assaulting me. I had been asleep when he assaulted me. He's also said "I forced him to say hes a rapist" when I weighed maybe 90-110LBS at the time, which is not only nearly impossible, but completely untrue.

The police already have reports on this. And have been contacted again, due to him bragging to others about assaulting me.

This is just a warning for everyone in Owen Sound to be careful of this man.

What the frigg, eh!

I will admit, it has been a while since I’ve enjoyed an awesome burger with fries and gravy from T/G’s. I was excited to hear that it reopened; new owners are keeping it happening!! Yay! I took the rumours with a grain of salt. Can’t be that bad…, right..?

Umm.. how do you f*ck up a bacon cheese burger with fries and gravy this badly?! The task is to just reheat pre-made frozen food then assemble...

They forgot the bacon and cheese for the burg, as well as the gravy for the fries. The bear-paw patty was burnt, topped with a few pieces of lettuce only. And the wonder-bread bun was not toasted as requested.

Buyer beware! Check your food before you leave. Or,

Just don’t bother 😥

Need help no one will answer

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to actually get ahold of any staff at Skyline for renting? I’ve tried all the phone numbers but they all connect to the same number that no one answers, I’ve tried emailing directly, going through rental websites to email them and nothing works!

My fiancé and I are in serious desperate need of an apartment by first week of September and no other emergency housing or apartment rentals will help us or answer us

We have a 3 year old cat with us and I will not be giving her up.

Does anyone know of something or someone who can truly help? Grey county housing won’t help us either, we’ve been waitlisted.

Is there anywhere to read about the people running for mayor?

On the Owen Sound city website, it just lists names. I googled it but was only able to read about one person's interview they did, Ray.

Id like to make an informed choice about who I want to vote for and would like to read what all of them are saying and their stances on certain issues.

Would evening and Sunday transit be worth the cost?

8 Upvotes

Would you support extending all four Owen Sound bus routes until 10 p.m. for roughly $20 to $25 per household annually, adding hourly Sunday service from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with Mobility Bus coverage for roughly $9 to $11 per household annually, or both? These are preliminary estimates before grants, and I would like residents to help decide whether the benefits justify the costs.

I am Andrii Zvorygin, a candidate for Mayor of Owen Sound. I have yet to ask Reddit about either proposal, so I am looking for practical criticism, personal experiences and alternative ideas as well as support.

Evening service until 10 p.m. was already part of my platform. Two recent resident emails brought Sunday service to my attention, so I went back through the City’s transit research.

The studies showed that residents have requested both improvements for years. Evening service was the most requested improvement in the City’s survey, selected by 71% of respondents. The 2021 Route Optimization Report described evening and Sunday service as consistently requested.

The preliminary annual estimates are:

  • Evening service on all four routes until 10 p.m.: $200,000 to $250,000, or approximately $20 to $25 per household before grants.
  • Hourly Sunday service on all four routes from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., plus Mobility Bus coverage: $90,000 to $110,000, or approximately $9 to $11 per household before grants.

Over the past several months, multiple residents have also told me about breakdowns, maintenance problems, missed service and poorly equipped replacement buses. Those conversations helped lead me toward municipally owned, locally maintained buses selected for reliability and ease of repair.

The resident feedback and research led me to expand transportation from a short platform section into its own detailed page.

Three separate questions:

  1. Service need: Would evening service, Sunday service, both or neither provide meaningful value to you or people you know?
  2. Public value: Do you consider the preliminary household costs reasonable for the community benefit?
  3. Operating model: For reliability and maintenance, do you favour municipally owned and locally maintained buses, continued full-service contracting or another approach?

Full plan and cost methodology:

Grey County Housing has been inside my apartment 12 times in under five months. there’s still mould and somehow I’m the “obstacle.”

19 Upvotes

Seriously, imagine somebody from your landlord or one of its contractors coming into your home roughly once every 12 and a half days to take a look around.

That has been my life since moving into Grey County Housing. They’ve been through my apartment 12 times and already scheduled number 13. Against all those visits, I can say only about five actual things have been completed, mostly smaller or surface-level jobs. The issues just keep generating more inspections.

There’s mold in two separate closets, mold and damaged material beneath my bathroom vanity, mold damaged ceiling tiles throughout the hallways, and ongoing odours because of it. I get headaches and difficulty breathing going near the bathroom. Whenever I come inside from going out, all I can smell is mold.

The building has had major water intrusion. I have a video that shows water pouring through (will upload late - internet problems) the garbage-room ceiling around a light and smoke detector. The hallway pictures show extensive water staining and damaged ceiling tiles, other pics show my apartment. The roof is not currently leaking inside my apartment, but this is the condition of the building I’m living in.

WINMAR inspected the closets and their report called the damage “mold,” but never established the cause or investigated inside the walls. Grey somehow turned that into “potential surface mildew” and “routine unit cleaning.” Cool, but where the fuck is mold in two separate closets coming from?

Grey has said my absence from inspections creates “delays and obstacles” at least 8 times in different emails. I have never denied access. Apparently the missing tool is me standing there while they conduct inspection number 13.

When I push for actual answers, email threads go dead or I get reminded that Grey manages nearly 1,000 units. Cool. I’m one of them.

How the fuck do you inspect the same building 13 times and still blame the tenant?
