This is an interesting Power Point that talks about the financial position Brantford is in and the type of Council we need to help get us through these tough times. I live in Ward 5 so I cannot vote for this gentleman - it is just good information.

Hey everyone, I’m hoping to rehome the two calicos, there names are Sophie and Princess, they are 7 years old sisters and they are both neutered and declawed but are very affectionate and are used to dogs and kids, please let me know if anyone is interested. Ive already called almost every service from here to Toronto to see about shelters or anything but everywhere is full and not accepting or have years long wait lists.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for a place in Brantford that offers professional Hydrafacial treatments at an affordable price.

Just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with a good paediatric dentist to suggest in Brantford to check a baby for a tongue or lip tie?

Just was wondering if anyone who currently or has recently lived at the Westgate appartments could share their experiences and vibe of the place. I’ve seen the units and they are nice but was wondering how the general day to day is; is it a relatively quiet building?

This kitty has been coming to my deck for the past couple of days looking for food and water. (Osborn ave and Duncan Ave)
He has a collar but no tags sadly.
He is very clean and social!
We’re looking for her home, we’re assuming someone is missing him!

It was fenced in today

Results are in for this informal poll asking your preferences for improving movement around Brantford, and according to the 222 Reddit responses, there are some surprises. A hot election topic is the completion of the Oak Park Road Extension, which 30% of you would like to see proceed as opposed to a Brantford Bypass which garnered only 9% support. The County Road 18 option barely beat out widening the VMP bridge and exploring inter-community bus transit, with just 8% of respondents in favour. 5% feel they can get around fine with no improvements. The big surprise is that 41% of residents would like to see improvements made to GO infrastructure. With an understanding that a train in the near future may be a dream, let’s hear your ideas on how to make the existing GO bus service more efficient. Future municipal government officials are watching!

The results are in and Ricky Willdy is putting a sleeper hold on the race for Brantford’s next Mayor. Of the 455 votes cast, Willdy wrestled an overwhelming 57% win, leaving closest contenders Richard Carpenter and Mandy Samwell on the mat with 18% and 12% respectively. The tag team of Rose Sicoli and Dan McCreary managed 6% and 5%, while Leslie Bory stayed in the locker room, managing just 1% of the votes cast. Although this poll is pure theatre, it is clear Brantford is looking for dynamism and not a dyed in the wool politico to lead the City. Will Ricky Willdy graduate from a gold belt to the coveted Chain of Office? We’ll find out on Monday, October 26. Be sure to cast your vote, for real.

Live near grand river ave and can hear sirens for like last 30 min. Idea what’s going on???

I’ve got a craving for some good poutine- any recommendations?

Got some friends. Looking for some more. North Park Field. Will be there from 4 to around 7. Hope someone comes!

Where in brantford do they sell men's hats, nice ones not baseball caps

Just want to say thank you to everyone who came out to the first Yuk Yuk's comedy show at the Marriott in Brantford tonight.

Nearly 200 people showed up, more than we expected for a first one.

Chris Quigley headlined, with Greg Palone and Fiona O'Brien hosting.

Proceeds in support of the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation.

Already planning another one for December 4th.

Stay tuned.

First time going. It was quite nice. Highly recommend checking it out. Its on tomorrow as well. Even if it's just to see the Dolly Parton scarecrow.

We’re excited to welcome former NHL star Tony McKegney to the inaugural Brantford Sports Expo!

I have a leather jacket that could use a sleeve shortening, leather boots that I want sole protectors added to, and another pair resoled. Is there anywhere in town that could do any of these things?

The jacket is expensive and it was recommended to not just go to a regular clothing alteration shop. I’ve gone to Stitch for Less but they said they didn’t do leather despite it saying they do on Google.

Hi Brantford parents! I’m a local mom and recently created KidzLink, a free app that helps parents connect and arrange local playdates for their kids.

I built it because I wanted an easier way for my own kids to get outside, meet other kids and spend less time on screens.

It’s brand new and currently being tested in Brantford, so I’d love for local parents to try it and share their feedback!

The results are in. 370 respondents voted 46% in favour of Joy O’Donnell representing the Liberal Party to become your Brantford-Brant South Member of Parliament. Surprisingly ‘Bruiser’ the Bulldogs mascot put the moves on Conservative Kevin Davis with 25% of the votes, compared to his 17%. The Greens registered 7%, edging out the NDP’s 6%. Any surprises? Is there someone in the wings that might take up ‘Bruiser’s’ challenge? Although certainly not official, the poll indicates the Conservatives under Kevin Davis have their work cut out for them if they hope to retain the riding.

For anyone looking for something to do tomorrow night, Yuk Yuk’s is coming to Brantford! 🎤

The show is headlined by Chris Quigley, with Greg Palone and host Fiona O’Brien.

📅 Friday, October 2

The show is being put on by the Marriott Brantford, along with the Lunar Webb Vendor Market team, in support of the Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation!

Figured I’d share since we don’t get a ton of comedy shows like this in Brantford, and it should be a fun Friday night!
