Recovering Addict Presentation - Aug 28
by Andrii Zvorygin 26 Aug '26

26 Aug '26

Hi fellow candidates, In lieu of a candidates’ social this week, Anne Finlay-Stewart has likely already invited you to the Harmony Centre event this Friday, August 28, starting at 6:30 p.m. The presentation is on one of the most pressing issues for Owen Sound voters, drug addiction and recovery, and it will also be a good opportunity to meet other candidates and constituents before and after the event. poster I know for some it may be short notice, but for those who can make it, should be worth it. See you there. Thanks, Andrii Zvorygin -- Owen Sound Candidates 2026 This is a public discussion list for registered 2026 candidates in Owen Sound. Reply sends your response to the original sender.

Social & Candidate Profiles
by Andrii Zvorygin 20 Aug '26

20 Aug '26

Hello fellow candidate, We used to have weekly candidate socials but now there are too many to fit, so we'll have to organize an outdoor candidate social in a couple weeks. Thank you Mike Seiler and Angela Stow for stopping by to introduce yourselves last week. As well as follow ups from David Adams and Thomas Arakal. Since there are so many new candidates, I'm having trouble keeping up with everyone's profile, so if you could review your candidate profile and send me any corrections and preferred photo it would be much appreciated. Thanks Tamara for getting the ball rolling in that regard. I have existing profiles for every council candidate here: https://helpos.ca/council And for mayor and deputy mayor candidates here: https://helpos.ca/mayor If you like I can also make you separate pages like I did for Thomas: https://helpos.ca/council/thomasarakal If you want any corrections for it, am happy to do so. Also I recently interviewed council candidate Thomas Arakal here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yCv76fcvDo Earlier did mayor candidate Ray Botten here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo3zKXqtzY4 And several for Jasmine Schnarr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew-b0SiSs78 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPfFu-ZUVBM Feel free to contact me, I would be happy to interview you and post the raw video for any candidate. Hoping to have opportunities to meet more of you in person over the coming weeks.

All-Candidates Social — Thursday, August 13
by Andrii Zvorygin 11 Aug '26

11 Aug '26

Hi everyone, I thought it might be nice to have an informal Owen Sound all-candidates social this Thursday, August 13, from 5:30–6:30 pm at 254 8th Street East. The idea is simply to give candidates for Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Council a chance to meet one another, make brief introductions, and have some informal conversation. No debate or formal agenda, just an opportunity to get to know the other people running and hopefully contribute to a friendly and constructive election. There is no need to stay beyond 6:30, and anyone who can only drop in for part of the hour is welcome as well. Thursday, August 13 5:30–6:30 pm 254 8th Street East, Owen Sound Hope to see some of you there.
