2026 Healthy Communities Conference Banner

The Healthy Communities Conference brings together community leaders, service providers, planners and partners to explore how we can build a culture of wellness across Grey and Bruce Counties. Through keynote presentations, panels and breakout sessions, participants will explore prevention-focused, equity-informed and community-driven approaches to health and wellbeing.

The 2026 Healthy Communities Partnership Conference Objectives are to:

  1. Inspire the development of lasting, equitable health and social systems that reduce barriers to community health and well-being.
  2. Explore strategies for navigating the political, economic, and geographic constraints of our health and social systems.
  3. Encourage coordination and knowledge transfer between health systems, social services, community partners, and marginalized groups.
  4. Create a space for honest dialogue about aging, income, inclusion, environment, and culture safety.
