    Mayor Andrea Matrosovs Acclaimed as Grey County Warden

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    The Town of The Blue Mountains Mayor Andrea Matrosovs will serve as Grey County Warden for 2025. Mayor Matrosovs was acclaimed by County Council on Tuesday, December 3.  

    Mayor Matrosovs has served as an elected official in The Blue Mountains since 2018, first with a term as Councillor followed by being elected as Mayor in 2022. As Mayor, Matrosovs contributes her expertise and leadership as a valued member of various committees, representing the interests of the Town and Grey County. Within the broader regional context, Mayor Matrosovs has taken on the pivotal role of Regional Lead for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative.

    In her inaugural address, Matrosovs spoke of her passion toward shared goals and priorities for the County. “We will continue to work toward building communities for the future.” She added: “We have the opportunity at the County level to make a difference in lives of all ages and stages. To facilitate growing up, working, recreating, visiting, and aging in a place of choice here in the County because together we address housing, long-term care, early childhood care, emergency services and transportation infrastructure.”

    Prior to her public service, Matrosovs contributed to the development of young minds as a dedicated high school teacher, concluding her teaching career at the college level. With four generations of her family living in The Blue Mountains, the Mayor’s passion for her community extends beyond the professional realm, including serving as a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 281 Clarksburg and her involvement with local environmental sustainability projects.

    The election of the Warden happens each December at County Council. Grey County Council elects one of its members to lead Council for the upcoming year. Mayor Matrosovs was nominated for the Warden’s position by former Grey County Warden and Southgate Mayor Brian Milne. Matrosovs was nominated for the position by County Councillors Barbara Dobreen and Kevin Eccles.

    Matrosovs is the third woman to be elected Warden and the third representative from the Town of The Blue Mountains to serve as County Warden, following Duncan McKinlay from 2012-13 and Rod Knott in 2001. 

    For additional information, and for a copy of the Warden’s Inaugural Address, view the Grey County release.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
