School Programs

Grey Roots Educational Programs are developed with the Ontario curriculum expectations in mind. Our programs encourage students to learn about the history of Grey County and to broaden their horizons through our travelling exhibits and programs.

Subsidized Rates

We extend our heartfelt thanks to West Wawanosh Mutual Insurance for their generous support in promoting equitable access to Grey Roots for local learners. Thanks to their contribution, schools located more than 40 km from Grey Roots, situated in rural communities, or focused on First Nations learners are now eligible for a subsidized programming rate. Schools may receive between $50 and $150 in savings to help offset bussing costs.

This meaningful support helps ensure that hands-on learning experiences remain within reach for students across our region. We’re truly grateful for West Wawanosh Mutual Insurance’s ongoing commitment to education and community enrichment.
