We had a TREE-rrific time last week hosting over 60 grade three students at the Inglis Falls Arboretum for the World of Trees program. This experiential program helps students deepen their understanding of the importance of trees.

We would like to thank the Inglis Falls Arboretum Alliance and the high school student volunteers from Owen Sound District Secondary School and Grey Highlands Secondary School for making this programming possible!

MEDIA RELEASE (May 19, 2026): Grey Sauble Conservation Prepares for Return to Renovated Administration Centre

Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) staff are moving back to their Administration Centre at 237897 Inglis Falls Road, Owen Sound at the end of the month, following a year at a temporary location while the building underwent significant renovations. This project marks the first major renovation since the facility opened in the mid 1970s and was undertaken to improve accessibility, advance operational efficiency, and modernize the space for both staff and visitors.

As a result of the renovations, several accessible features have been implemented, creating a more inclusive environment. Interior upgrades have improved staff workspace, making them more comfortable and efficient, while the redesigned public reception area will offer a more welcoming and informative experience for visitors. Additional improvements focused on increasing energy efficiency, repairing and upgrading the roof to address long standing leaks, and implementing a range of functional enhancements to support GSCA’s day to day operations.

To support the move back to the Administration Centre, GSCA’s temporary downtown Owen Sound office at 901 3rd Avenue East will close permanently on May 28. The Administration Centre on Inglis Falls Road will reopen to the public on June 2. During the closure period, most staff will be working remotely and can be reached by phone or email.

As GSCA transitions back to the Administration Centre, service delays may occur as staff settle into the newly renovated space. Additionally, some online services will be temporarily unavailable from May 28 to June 1, including the Intent to Cut online form for those harvesting trees in Grey County, and the online permit application form for GSCA’s Environmental Planning Department.

Staff appreciate the community’s patience during this transition and look forward to welcoming visitors back into a refreshed and improved Administration Centre!

Buying or selling a home? Before making this big decision, be sure you have the full picture!

Contact our Environmental Planning Department to request a Property & Regulation Inquiry Letter. This service will help you understand whether a property is regulated under Ontario Regulation 41/24 and identifies any natural hazard features on site. The Property & Regulation Inquiry Letter includes regulation mapping which outlines the locations of natural hazards and regulated areas on the subject property.

It’s an easy step that can save you time, surprises, and stress down the road.
