Who We Are
Who We Are
Located in Elora, Ontario, just on the edge of the village, The GrandWay Event Centre is home to several versatile spaces that can accommodate a wide range of events. The 53-acre grounds are also home to the Grand River Raceway.
The GrandWay is owned and operated by the Grand River Agricultural Society (GRAS), a not-for-profit corporation, incorporated under the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies Act of Ontario.
In 2019, the new event centre was born from the collective commitment of the board of directors whose mandate includes supporting and providing facilities to encourage activities intended to enrich rural life. As a social enterprise, the funds generated by The GrandWay support the philanthropic initiatives of GRAS.
For more information check out the GRAS website.
