Ayton-Normanby Lions Club has disbanded and no longer participates in the program. A new initiative for this year was to add this program to the Grey County website, which has resulted in several enquiries about the program and what roads are available. The website lists all the members thanking them for participating in the program, along with all the forms and safety guidelines. The program information was added to the website in March.

Due to By-Law 4608-09, Schedule A: Policy ADM-02-08 the Transportation and Public Safety Committee no longer receives notification of when a new group joins the Adopt-A-Highway program, this is delegated to the Director of Transportation and Public Safety.
