  • Brantford Community Overview
    COMMUNITY OVERVIEW 2021 Don’t keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. You will be certain to find something you have never seen before. Of course, it will be a little thing, but do not ignore it. One discovery will lead to another, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind, and really big discoveries are the result of thought. Alexander Graham Bell Scientist, Inventor, Engineer, and Innovator Alexander Graham Bell Sculpture Bell Telephone Company, Brantford 2 GREETINGS FROM BRANTFORD MAYOR KEVIN DAVIS On behalf of Brantford City Council and the citizens of our community, I am pleased to extend a warm welcome from beautiful Brantford, Ontario. Situated in southwestern Ontario, overlooking the scenic Grand River, Brantford offers the amenities of a large urban centre while maintaining the charms of small town living, making it the ideal location to raise a family or grow a business. It is recognized as a diverse, burgeoning, and successful community that has been identified by MoneySense Magazine as one of Canada’s Top Cities to buy real estate and by Site Selection Magazine as one of the Best Canadian Cities to Invest. As a community with a rich history, it was here that Alexander Graham Bell conceived the idea for the telephone and placed the first long distance telephone call which revolutionized the way we communicate. Nearly 150 years later, knowledge and innovation remain an important part of our culture. Partnerships with Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College have created a vibrant post-secondary presence in our community.

These rules are put in place for many reasons & rationale, including but not inclusive of: • It provides for a more competitive balance within leagues and between leagues/teams. • Specific to sledge hockey, residency guidelines should increase recruiting in much more concentrated areas increasing expansion of existing clubs, new clubs and greater availability of the sport to potential athletes. • No one team can load up on talent. • Leads to better/more parity for better overall player development • Most are based on “a player must play for the nearest centre by highway” saving travel time, allowing for greater flexibility is scheduling and less forfeits/cancelations due to lack of players, inclement weather, etc. There are many reasons for residency rules and the vast majority of them are directly applicable to the Ontario Sledge Hockey Association League.
