Eugenia is a small community in the municipality of Grey Highlands, Grey County, in Southwestern Ontario, Canada,[1] located just north of the community of Flesherton.[2] An unincorporated hamlet of Artemesia Township[3] for most of its history, Eugenia was amalgamated into the Grey Highlands in 2001.[4] Due to nearby Lake Eugenia, Eugenia Falls, the Bruce Trail and the ski resorts of the Beaver Valley, it has become a popular tourist and cottage destination. The nearby Eugenia Power Station has the highest head of water of any hydroelectric generator in Ontario, and has provided a significant amount of electricity to the provincial grid for a century.
