The Town of The Blue Mountains is pleased to share that Mayor Andrea Matrosovs has been acclaimed as Grey County Warden and will serve her second term in the role. Mayor Matrosovs was acclaimed at the Grey County Council inaugural meeting on December 2, 2025.
In her inaugural address, Matrosovs expressed a desire to build on the progress made in her first year as Warden, highlighting the importance of strengthening relationships across municipal boundaries, including with Indigenous partners and neighbouring rural communities. She also reinforced her commitment to strong advocacy at the provincial and federal levels on behalf of Grey County and other small, rural communities.
“When I am meeting with regional colleagues, provincial MPPs, Ministers and MPs in Ottawa, I am speaking not just with the voice of our nine municipalities but for small towns and rural communities from all over Ontario in the Great Lakes watershed,” said Matrosovs. “Beside the big city Mayors, MPPs and MPs from other areas of the province, it is important that we bring that rural lens to the table.”
The Grey County Warden leads County Council, represents the County at official events, and presides over Council meetings to ensure business is conducted efficiently and effectively. The Warden also serves on the Western Ontario Warden’s Caucus and participates on other boards. The election of the Warden takes place each December, when Grey County Council elects one of its members to serve for the upcoming year. This term, Warden Matrosovs was nominated by Councillor Keaveney of the Municipality of Meaford and Councillor Boddy of the City of Owen Sound.
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 2012-2013 and Rod Knott in 2001.
