    Mayor Andrea Matrosovs Acclaimed as Grey County Warden

    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.
