A male youth was rescued by first responders yesterday after falling off a cliff at Eugenia Falls Conservation Area in Grey Highlands.
Grey Bruce OPP, Grey County paramedics and members of the Grey Highlands and the Blue Mountains Fire Departments were called to the incident just prior to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.

The male youth was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
