Join us for the 2026 Regional Job Fair on March 24 — the region’s largest job fair with over 70 employers.
March 24, 2026
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Employers! The 2026 Regional Job Fair is a high‑impact, in‑person hiring event connecting local employers with job seekers from across Grey and Bruce Counties. To ensure quality engagement, participation is limited to 75 employers, creating meaningful opportunities to connect with job seekers.
Employer registration is $50 + HST and includes:
- Access to hundreds of local job seekers
- One 6‑foot table
- Two chairs
- Up to two lunch tickets
- Opportunity to request electricity (first come, first served; employers must provide their own extension cords and power bars)
Space is limited and booths are expected to sell out quickly. Early registration increases your chances of being included in event promotion as we actively market the job fair to job seekers throughout the region.
This event is intended for employers hiring for local positions within Grey and Bruce Counties. Employer registration deadline is March 13, 2026.
This event is supported by YMCA of Owen Sound Grey Bruce, Business Enterprise Centre, Employment Services BGHP, Four County Labour Market Planning Board, Georgian College and Grey County.
