West Grey Ontario

5 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 12 WEST GREY, ONTARIO remotely, contributing to the community’s growth. Mayor Eccles sees this trend continuing and emphasizes West Grey’s readiness for the evolving work landscape. “Five years ago, you wouldn’t have heard of individuals working from home. Now, in and around West Grey, many long-time residents and newcomers are working one, two, three or more days from home. I can see it becoming the norm, and we’re ready and prepared for that,” he says. A surge in population growth is also occurring in the municipality, as people experience the high quality of life opportunities in the region. “Like many communities, we are experiencing labour shortages in some sectors, but we have a tremendous number of qualified professionals and tradespeople here,” notes the mayor. “What we are seeing is that once a business relocates here and their workforce follows, it isn’t very long before those employees realize a quality of life unmatched to what they were experiencing for decades in the urban centres.” TM&©2023 IntactPublicEntities Inc.and/or itsaffiliates.AllRightsReserved.
