Education
Owen Sound is home to a campus of Georgian College. The campus currently offers 14 full-time programs, including its Great Lakes International Marine Training Centre. The centre trains professionals already working in the marine industry and students enrolled in the Marine Navigation Technology program and the Marine Engineering Technology program. Owen Sound is also home to Owen Sound Collegiate and Vocational Institute, one of Canada's oldest schools having been founded in 1856.
Owen Sound has also been providing quite an extensive variety of French education for almost thirty years, in the form of its French immersion programs in both the public and Catholic school systems, as well as the only all French school and preschool in Grey and Bruce counties. Opportunities offered to French students range from such activities as French exchanges to French summer camps.

“Toward education marriage nervous breakdown, operation, teaching
school, and learning to be mad, in a dream—what is this
