Just to clarify a few things, Meaford is an alright training centre, land wise. It is much better than Farnham in St.Jean. The mess in Meaford tho is terrible. Your 2 meals choices are deep fried or deep fried.
Owen Sound is definitely not a hoot. You get kicked out of the bars after 2 drinks just for being military, all the girls are fat and dirty and have herpes and 2 kids. There are like 2 bars and they are both crap. Not to mention that the entire town of Owen Sound pretty much hates military personnelle.
