Town of Grimsby News

Each February, Ontarians celebrate Heritage Week, recognizing heritage in all its forms. This year, Heritage Week takes place from February 16–22. From the first Indigenous peoples who lived on and cared for these lands, to the European settlers who introduced distinctive architectural styles, technology, and innovation, to the many individuals and families who have since chosen to call Grimsby home - each has contributed traditions, cultures, and stories that continue to shape our community.

In observance of the Family Day long weekend, please note that the following Town facilities will be closed on Monday, February 16, 2026.
