A century of growth and community spirit
The Rural Municipality of Grey, established in 1906, has seen significant development over the years. Initially led by Secretary-Treasurer W.C. Soole, administrative roles have since evolved to a Chief Administrative Officer. The council, consisting of a reeve and five councillors, governs a region marked by a rich history of Franco-Canadian, English, and Métis influence, later joined by European immigrants. The municipality, known for its prime agricultural land, has recently experienced a population increase due to its proximity to Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, offering a tranquil lifestyle with convenient city access. In 2006, the centennial celebration highlighted the enduring spirit and growth of the community.
Feeling the community spirit through its services
The municipality offers a wide range of professional services, including the maintenance of public infrastructure, the regulation of harmful vegetation, recycling initiatives, water and sanitation services, waste treatment site management, the volunteer fire brigade, as well as emergency management.
