A new collection of vibrant street banners is bringing colour and creativity to Grimsby's streetscape. The Town of Grimsby is proud to unveil a new series of decorative street banners created by internationally acclaimed illustrator Darren Booth.

The Town of Grimsby recognizes the unique and historic character of the Grimsby Beach community and remains committed to preserving and protecting its heritage. As part of the Official Plan Review, the Town has received questions regarding the proposed Area Specific Policy Set for Grimsby Beach. In response, staff have prepared a detailed Q&A to provide clarity on the intent and direction of the policy framework.

Throughout the final phase of the Official Plan Review project, Council approval of the Official Plan had been anticipated for June 2026. Due to ongoing changes to provincial legislation and the planning framework, the project timeline has been extended to allow for additional review and public input on the next revised draft of the Official Plan.
