Mayor and Council

West Grey's Mayor and Council are involved in taking care of our community by listening to residents and making decisions based on everyone's best interest. It is Council's role to abide by the Municipality's vision, goals, and objectives.

West Grey Council is made up of a Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and five Councillors, all elected at large. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor also represent the Municipality at Grey County Council meetings.

If you wish to email Council as a whole, please email council@westgrey.com. Contact information for individual members of Council can be found below.

Connect with Council

Regular meetings of Council are typically held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, at 9:00 a.m. in Council chambers. 

Meeting dates, agendas, minutes, and links to livestream and video recordings can be found on the Agendas and Minutes page.

Members of the public may ask to make a presentation (also called a delegation) to Council.

Each delegation may be a maximum of 10 minutes, which includes questions by the members, and up to two public delegations may be scheduled for each meeting.

This allows anyone to speak about an issue on behalf of themselves or a group within the formal proceedings of a Council meeting. 

To request a delegation, please pick the date of which Council meeting you wish to speak at and complete a delegation request form.

Requests must be made at least 14 days in advance of the requested meeting date. If the maximum number of delegations have already been scheduled, the delegation will be put on the next available opening to speak before Council.

Any presentations or materials must be submitted at least 10 days before the scheduled delegation.

If you want to invite the Mayor and/or member of Council to your event, send your request in writing, at least 3 weeks before the date.

Please be sure to include all of the following event details:

  • name
  • address
  • phone number
  • organization (if applicable)
  • email address
  • type of event
  • who you would like to attend (Mayor/Councillor/all Council)
  • event date
  • event time
  • event venue and address

  • additional event details

Staff will contact you to confirm attendance or extend regrets.

Congratulatory certificates are provided to individuals, groups, businesses, and other organizations in West Grey to commemorate anniversaries, birthdays, milestone occasions, official openings, and other special honours.

If you would like to request a certificate, send your request in writing, and please be sure to include all of the following details:
