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. Brantford is conveniently located along a major transportation corridor and is dedicated to promoting economic diversity, quality employment opportunities and efforts to enhance the quality of life of all its residents. Brantford’s City Council is committed to working collectively with all levels of government to pave the way for new business in Brantford. As Mayor, it is my distinct pleasure to introduce you to our vibrant city through this comprehensive brochure. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how Brantford may align with your investment plans.

  • Even More Land Available for Homes and Jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe

    Even More Land Available for Homes and Jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe

    March 9, 2017 An update on the total land supply: Even more land available for homes and jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe For more information, contact: Marcy Burchfield Executive Director [email protected] 416-972-9199 ext. 1 Neptis | 1 An update on the total land supply: Even more land available for homes and jobs in the Greater Golden Horseshoe This is the third in a series of Briefs on the land supply for future urban development designated by municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe to accommodate growth to 2031. This Brief sums up the supply of land in (a) the Designated Greenfield Area (DGA), (b) unbuilt areas within Undelineated Built-up Areas (UBUAs), (c) land added through boundary changes to Barrie and Brantford and (d) Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan. Altogether, the supply of unbuilt land for housing and employment planned until 2031 and beyond is 125,600 hectares. How much land is available for development in the Greater Golden Horseshoe? Determining how much land has been set aside to accommodate future housing and employment across the Greater Golden Horseshoe is a fluid process, because land supply data are not fixed once and for all. Ontario Municipal Board decisions, amendments to local official plans, and boundary adjustments constantly alter the numbers. In the first phase of analysis in 2013, Neptis researchers focused on estimating the extent of the “Designated Greenfield Area” (DGA).1 This was land set aside by municipalities in land budgeting exercises to accommodate the population and employment targets allocated by the Province for the period 2006–2031 in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.

  • Back in the Tower Again

    Back in the Tower Again

    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.

    November 17th, 2020 Kevin Davis, Mayor City of Brantford, 100 Wellington Square Brantford, Ontario N3T 2M2 Dear Mayor Davis, I am writing on behalf of The AIDS Network to express our concern over the recommendation of the Operations and Administration Committee to possibly suspend the Brant County Health Unit needle syringe program in the City of Brantford. As a close program partner of the Health Unit and member of the Brant and Brantford Drug Strategy, we are very concerned about this motion. We agree with Dr. Elizabeth Urbantke that any suspension of the program will lead to further increased sharing and re-using of needles, more needles improperly disposed of and increased health-care costs associated with a potential rise in HIV and hepatitis C transmission rates. With the confluence of the opioid crisis and COVID-19, it is imperative that these lifesaving programs continue. We have been offering prevention and support programs for over 15 years in Brantford. This includes a mandate by the Ministry of Health to provide harm reduction programs and services in the Haldimand, Norfolk and Brant areas. We work closely with the Health Unit and other service providers such as St. Leonard’s, Wesley, and the Grand River Community Health Centre to distribute supplies from our mobile van outreach program. We are committed to continue working with the Health Unit and other service providers in the City of Brantford to find community-based solutions to increase prevention strategies and better health outcomes for individuals and the safety and wellness of the community at large. I would urge you and City Council to consult with the members of the Brant and Brantford Drug Strategy Working Groups to begin discussions in this regard.
