For immediate release
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!
