Town of Grimsby News

Grimsby has been recognized as one of Canada’s most livable places to call home in The Globe and Mail’s latest Canada’s Most Livable Cities rankings – an achievement that reflects the strength, spirit and shared efforts of our entire community.

The Town of Grimsby is inviting residents, stakeholders, and community members to attend the second Public Information Centre (PIC) for the Town’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP), hosted jointly with the Official Plan Review. This Public Information Centre will provide an opportunity to learn about the project, review draft recommendations, ask questions, and share feedback.

The Town of Grimsby will be conducting snow removal in the downtown core to help keep roads, sidewalks, and parking areas safe and accessible for residents, businesses, and visitors.

February is Black History Month and the 2026 theme, “30 Years of Black History Month: Honouring Black Brilliance Across Generations — From Nation Builders to Tomorrow’s Visionaries,” invites us to celebrate the lasting contributions, creativity, and leadership of Black Canadians — past, present, and future.

Water and wastewater bills for the final portion of 2025 consumption have now been mailed. These bills cover usage up to December 31, 2025, and are being issued under the old billing structure. This marks the last bill you will receive under the old system.

All Town of Grimsby facilities are open today and operating as scheduled, unless otherwise posted. Please note that the outdoor rink at the MRPKC remains closed.

Due to incremental weather conditions, the Town of Grimsby will be closing the Major Refrigeration Peach King Centre at 2:00 p.m. today. In addition, the Grimsby Public Library will not open today (originally scheduled to open at 1:00 p.m.).

Environment Canada has upgraded the snowfall warning for today, with significant winter weather expected across the community.

The Major Refrigeration Peach King Centre (MRPKC) officially opened its doors today, with Mayor Jeff Jordan and members of Town Council welcoming Sam Oosterhoff, MPP for Niagara West, to mark the completion of Grimsby’s new community hub. The opening included a ceremonial ribbon cutting and community open house, inviting residents to explore the expanded, state-of-the-art facility and its wide range of new amenities designed to support recreation, wellness, and connection across the community.

The Town of Grimsby is preparing for a significant winter storm and prolonged period of extreme cold, starting today with bitterly cold conditions beginning this evening, and continuing through Saturday night. Conditions will be reassessed on Sunday morning, at which time the alert may be extended or lifted.
