The Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) is temporarily relocating while its Administration Centre at 237897 Inglis Falls Road, Owen Sound, undergoes essential renovations to enhance accessibility, improve efficiency, and modernize the facility. This will be the first major renovation since the building opened in the mid-1970s.
These renovations will ensure the building is accessible, providing a more inclusive space for staff and visitors. The interior will be updated to improve staff workspaces, making them more comfortable and efficient, and the public reception area will be redesigned to create a welcoming and informative space for visitors. Additional upgrades will focus on increasing the building’s energy efficiency, improving the roof to address leaks, and implementing various solutions to improve overall functionality.
To facilitate the move, the GSCA office will be closed from April 9 – 11, and will reopen on April 14 at its temporary location at 901 3rd Avenue East, Suite 215, Owen Sound, above the post office. Staff will operate at this location for approximately one year while renovations are completed. GSCA’s phone number will remain the same (519-376-3076). Those needing specific contact information can refer to the staff directory on GSCA’s website.
During this transition, service delays may occur as staff settle into the new space. Additionally, some online services will be temporarily unavailable from April 10 to April 14, 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. Visitors to the Inglis Falls Arboretum should be aware that parking may be reduced during construction and the public washrooms located at the Arboretum pavilion may not always be available.
GSCA appreciates the community’s patience during this transition and looks forward to welcoming visitors back into a refreshed and improved Administration Centre!
