who we are

In February 2002, a group of concerned Beaver Valley residents met in the Community Hall in Kimberley. The intent of the meeting was to discuss the feasibility of a ratepayers group to monitor the fast-paced changes in the Valley. This group would represent the property owners before the Grey Highlands Council, Grey County, and the Niagara Escapement Commission.

The BVRA is now an established group, incorporated, and making an impact in various ways in the Beaver Valley and adjacent areas. We have been successful in dealing with the Grey County Department of Transportation and Public Safety on the installation of signs, lights, and road reroutings. We have attended Ontario Municipal Board hearings for our members, and informed them of the results of those hearings. Directors attend the Grey Highlands Planning Board and Council sessions, representing our members on various issues.

Watch for the BVRA representation at the local festivals and fairs. Come visit us and discuss Valley matters.
