A video explaining the project and showing the damage is available on Grey County’s YouTube channel.

A New 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan for Grey County
Grey County Council has endorsed a new 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Strategy to guide work from 2026 to 2035. The plan, called Grey County: Colour It Home, was developed through a housing needs assessment, environmental scan, focus groups with service providers, and input from people with lived experience.
The strategy centres on three key priorities:
- Creating new affordable and supportive housing
- Supporting a strong community housing sector
- Strengthening the homelessness system to reduce chronic homelessness
Share the Road: Farm Vehicle Safety
Although wet conditions delayed the planting season, farm vehicles are now on the move across Grey County. The county is reminding motorists to share the road safely. Spring and fall public safety radio announcements are airing to encourage safe driving behaviour and remind the community about agriculture’s important role in the local economy.
Grey Roots Museum and Archives: New Exhibits and Events
Grey Roots Museum and Archives welcomes visitors for another vibrant season with new exhibits, engaging programs, and family-friendly experiences. Two new exhibits have recently launched.
Wild Weather
Wild Weather brings the power of severe weather to life for visitors of all ages. From roaring hurricanes to crackling lightning, the exhibit invites curious minds to explore the science behind Earth’s most extreme conditions. This exhibit runs from May 16 to September 5, 2026.
Local Stories: Changing Weather
Local Stories: Changing Weather is a community-driven exhibit developed by the Georgian Bluffs Climate Action Team. It spotlights how weather in Grey County is shifting and how residents are adapting with resilience and creativity.
