Council Meeting Highlights - March 3, 2026

Council received a presentation from Grey County regarding Municipal Road Transfers in West Grey. The purpose of this project is to enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Grey County road network by ensuring road ownership aligns with each road’s intended function. Roads currently under County jurisdiction that primarily serve a local purpose are proposed to be transferred to the Municipality, while Municipal roads that serve a broader regional function are proposed to be transferred to the County.
