Grey County seeking public members for advisory committees related to agriculture, planning, and economic development

Grey County is seeking applications for public membership on two advisory committees to council. Applications for the Agricultural Advisory Committee and the Planning and Economic Development Advisory Committees are now available online at www.Grey.ca.

The Agricultural Advisory Committee considers matters related to the agricultural sector. Individuals involved in any aspect of agriculture who are interested in contributing local knowledge and their expertise on emerging issues and new initiatives are encouraged to apply. This committee meets virtually.

The Planning and Economic Development Advisory Committee provides advice on planning policies and considers issues and opportunities related to economic development, tourism and culture strategies and initiatives. Applications are welcome from anyone with interest and experience related to any aspect of the committee’s mandate.

Both committees are volunteer positions and are expected to meet 4 to 6 times per year. Interested applicants can find the application forms online at www.grey.ca/advisory-committees.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.

Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
