Leadership Update...
It is with a full heart and mixed emotions, we share that Katie Giddy will be leaving her role as Co-CEO and VP of Operations at Grand River Agricultural Society, GrandWay Events Centre, and Grand River Raceway.

Over the past five years, Katie has helped lead transformative change — from launching The GrandWay Events Centre and expanding the racetrack, to fostering community connections, championing sustainability, and guiding us through both challenges and growth.

We’re so grateful for her vision, leadership, and passion. Her impact will be felt for years to come — and while we’re sad to see her go, we’re excited for what’s ahead for her. Please join us in wishing Katie all the best in her next chapter! 👏
