Grey County
Grey County residents enjoy a relaxed rural lifestyle. Featuring Georgian Bay shorelines, rolling farmland and the rugged Niagara Escarpment, the county is known for its natural beauty and four seasons of outdoor activity. It’s also home to an extensive network of health care services. Owen Sound, the largest city, is a two-hour drive to Toronto and other major urban centres.
