The tourism sector generates approximately $840 million for our economy, boosting local business and creating labour opportunities for our work force. We pride ourselves on offering seven unique experiences to our visitors: amazing golf, cultural spaces and places, agricultural and fine dining, a winter playground, trails and trekking, shoreline adventures, and spas and romantic getaways. In our 10year Strategic Plan, approved by County Council, one of our primary Strategic Directions is to expand the role the County plays in promoting economic development and tourism. Together, with our partners, we are making great strides to promote our wonderful region and enhance our tourism industry. Tourism Simcoe County supports a number of events and activities occurring throughout the region this summer and fall. Visit their website for a full list of regional events. We hope you take time to enjoy our many tourism and recreational opportunities.
Located in southern Ontario, Grey County is the fourth largest county in Ontario and holds on proudly to its heritage, breath taking beauty of its bountiful rivers and forests, wholesome environment and rural living. With over twenty two hundred farms in Grey County, agriculture is a way of life. In the whole of Ontario, Grey County is ranked amongst the top producers for hay, apples, sheep and lambs and cattle. After changes in government services to the local agricultural industry in the year 2000, the need for a support system for agricultural organizations and the farming community became apparent. With the aide of local agricultural organizations, individual farmers, and Grey County Council, Grey Ag Services, a 'grass-roots', 'farmer-driven' initiative, 'not-for–profit' organization was created to service and fulfill the needs of the local farm community.
