COVID-19 update

WEST GREY, ON—On March 23, 2020 the Municipality of West Grey declared a state of emergency due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, the municipality has remained focused on maintaining critical services and following the directions of the Grey Bruce Health Unit and the provincial government. 

On Friday June 12, 2020 the municipality joined many other regions of Ontario and entered into stage 2 of the recovery as set out by the province. This triggered the opening of tennis and basketball courts, community gardens and summer camp with some restrictions and health guidelines.

All municipal facilities remain closed to the public. This includes community centres, arenas and the municipal administrative building. 

Many parks, trails, open spaces and river access points have re-opened. However, playgrounds, playground equipment and the Durham pool remain closed.

Public health strongly recommends the use of non-medical masks in situations where physical distancing is difficult.

The West Grey Public Library has started curbside pickup at its Durham branch. For more information please call 519-369-2107.

On May 5, the Municipality of West Grey hosted a COVID-19 Roundtable with Mayor Robinson, Warden McQueen, MPP Walker, MP Ruff and Dr. Arra. The video of this event has been posted to our YouTube channel.
