The Bank of Canada needs help deciding who should be the first Canadian woman featured on our money. Grey County believes no one deserves the honour more than Grey County's own Agnes Macphail, Canada's first woman Member of Parliament.
Agnes had a national impact and was a trailblazer and inspiration for women across Canada. You can nominate her to be the first Canadian woman on a banknote. Links to the nomination page are posted on the County of Grey's Facebook page.
Join the conversation on social media and help encourage others to support Agnes. Grey County will be sharing all kinds of fun facts about Agnes throughout the campaign. Follow @GreyCounty on Twitter and Facebook and use the hashtags #BecauseOfAgnes and #BankNOTEable to show your support.

We had some good snow falls. I was able to ski out my back door just last week, and after last Tuesday night, the snow banks were pilled as high as they ever get. But since January, each time we got snow, the temperatures climbed so that within days the snow melted and almost disappeared. Much of this winter, there were too many green patches to ski.
Yes the driving was easy. Most days. We had less white-outs. But there were mornings when rain fell on snow making the back roads incredibly treacherous. School buses were cancelled regularly.
And more important, most winters I look out at ...
