Contact Brant partnered up with Brant Food For Thought to host a Back-to-School Food Drive.

We spent the morning at Food Basics in Lynden Mall and the afternoon at Zehrs on Fairview, connecting with shoppers and families as they prepared for the new school year. It was a great day for community connection!

September is FASD Awareness Month. This year’s theme is - Everyone Plays a Part: It Takes a Community.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing insights, information, and resources to help raise awareness and understanding of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

FASD is a lifelong disability that can affect the brain and body following prenatal alcohol exposure. Every individual with FASD is unique, with their own strengths, abilities, and support needs.

How can you help?
β€’ Learn about FASD
β€’ Listen without judgment
β€’ Focus on strengths
β€’ Adapt supports and expectations

Every step forward starts with awareness. Let’s get started.

Thank you for being our guest this summer for the Character Meet & Greets and the finale with Rose Princess.

We had a wonderful time meeting children, youth, and families as they marveled with excitement and wonder when they saw their favourite princesses and superheroes. Seeing these special moments through their eyes was truly heartwarming and reminded us of the joy these experiences bring to our community.

These heartwarming moments would not have been possible without our partnership with Harmony Square and the support of π“π‘πž 𝐆π₯𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐒π₯𝐒𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 π‚π¨π¦π©πšπ§π². Thank you for helping make this summer so memorable!

August 20 marked the official Grand Opening of the Gihekdagye Friendship Centre, with the theme of Together We Rise, and it truly was just that.

It was a beautiful day filled with inspiring guest speakers, building tours, and an incredible show of support from the community. We had the opportunity to connect with the Executive Director Shelly Hill, who shared that the vision behind the centre was to create a place they could truly call home. Now that vision has become a reality.

This building represents more than just a physical space. It is the result of a collective effort, built on the strength, and support of many people coming together to create a space for Indigenous individuals and families right in the heart of Brantford.

We’re excited to welcome our neighbours and look forward to continuing to learn, connect, and grow together.

Congratulations Gihekdagye Friendship Centre on this exciting new chapter!
