Notes on this record
- No Owen Sound or Grey County top-employer list could be read: grey.ca and madeingrey.ca (Grey County economic development) both have robots.txt 'Disallow: /'.
- School boards serving Owen Sound have head offices outside the city (Bluewater DSB in Chesley; Bruce-Grey Catholic DSB in Hanover), and Bruce Power is in Tiverton (Kincardine), so none is listed. The County of Grey's administration is in Owen Sound but grey.ca could not be opened, so it has no row.
- Press reports: TC Transcontinental's RBW Graphics printing plant in Owen Sound (about 360 workers) is to close in 2027; the Tenneco plant (494 jobs) has closed. tctranscontinental.com returned a challenge page, so no row. hobartfood.ca robots unreachable (no row).
- No venture-funded software/tech company headquartered in Owen Sound could be confirmed.
