  • Protecting What We Value
    Protecting What We Value Introduction and Context The County of Brant has initiated an update to its Official Plan. An Official Plan, is a document that outlines a municipality’s general land use planning policies in ways that plan for future growth. The process of preparing a new Official Plan requires a Municipal Comprehensive Review to ensure the Official Plan aligns with provincial land-use planning documents. The County of Brant Official Plan must follow the Growth Plan for the Greater Golder Horseshoe, 2019, reflect policy direction from the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, and incorporate the County’s strategic initiatives, all to create an Official Plan that best suits the County of Brant. To plan for the future, the County will seek guidance from the Province of Ontario and input from the community and key stakeholders, to help create updated policy directions that will help guide our new Official Plan. One of the ways to begin discussions and receive valuable feedback is through the presentation of themed discussion papers. These papers are intended to provide background information on specific topics to help the discussion of important issues and objectives for growth management and land use. Community support is essential to creating and implementing an Official Plan that best reflects a community’s goals.

  • Air Transportation Safety Investigation Report A18O0153
    Air Transportation Safety Investigation Report A18O0153 COLLISION WITH TERRAIN Piper PA-28R-200, C-GDUM Brantford Airport, Ontario 13 November 2018 History of the flight At approximately 00271 on 13 November 2018, the privately owned Piper PA-28R-200 aircraft (registration C-GDUM, serial number 28R7535272) departed from Burlington Executive Airport (CZBA), Ontario, with 2 people on board. The intended destination could not be determined, because neither a flight plan nor an itinerary were filed for the flight. Several minutes2 before departure, a succession of 5 keyed microphone clicks were recorded on the aerodrome traffic frequency at CZBA. This sequence of clicks is used by pilots to turn on the ARCAL (aircraft radio control of aerodrome lighting), which includes runway lighting. Although these clicks were recorded, no verbal transmissions normally associated with departing or arriving aircraft traffic were recorded. Shortly after departure, at 0028, the aircraft began to be recorded on radar climbing west of CZBA toward the Brantford Airport (CYFD), Ontario, located 28 nautical miles (nm) to the southwest.3 At 0043, when the aircraft was approximately 4 nm east of CYFD at 1600 feet,4 a series of clicks was 1 All times are Eastern Standard Time (Coordinated Universal Time minus 5 hours). 2 The exact time of the microphone clicks is uncertain, because the audio recording was compressed. 3 CYFD has a UNICOM radio frequency with limited hours of operation. It was not staffed at the time of the occurrence. 4 In this report, all altitudes are above sea level, unless otherwise noted. 2 | TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD OF CANADA recorded on the CYFD aerodrome traffic frequency.

These markers were placed at the graves of veterans who fought in the War of 1812 between the United States, Great Britain and their Indigenous allies. The granite markers were supplied through a program called “The War of 1812 Graveside Project” to mark the 200th anniversary of the war. 86 veterans from the War of 1812 are interred in County of Brant cemeteries. They were recognized with a plaque, placed during a ceremony, in which their graves were blessed and reenactors fired muskets in a three volley salute.
