Region Braces for Family Day Influx as Skies Clear
With the heaviest snowfall of the season now settled, operators across Grey and Bruce counties are preparing for what could be the busiest Family Day long weekend since 2019.
From the slopes of the Blue Mountains to the snowmobile trails of the Bruce Peninsula, the "Open" signs are lit. However, the OPP is issuing a cautionary advisory regarding Highway 6 and Highway 10. Traffic volumes are expected to peak Friday afternoon. Drivers are reminded to adjust to winter conditions, even as the forecast predicts a brief reprieve from the squalls.
"We are ready," says Owen Sound BIA spokesperson Mark Thompson. "The River District is open, the ice at the Bayshore is ready for skating, and our restaurants have recovered from the supply chain hiccups last month."
