Welcome to Brantford!

Situated on the picturesque Grand River in the
heart of southwestern Ontario, Brantford is
the ideal place to live, work, play, educate, and
visit. Our thriving community is proud to be the
hometown of hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky and
the official Tournament Capital of Ontario. Brantford boasts 70km of
natural trails and the scenic Grand River, a designated heritage river, is a
paddler’s delight for outdoor adventure enthusiasts.

We invite you to discover our rich heritage, and burgeoning arts and
culture community. It was here in 1874 that Alexander Graham Bell first
conceived the idea for the telephone and executed the world’s first long
distance telephone call in 1876.

Our expanding list of gourmet restaurants and locally-run boutiques keep
our city bustling and with over 100 festivals and events annually, your
entertainment options are endless. Whether you’re looking for cultural
experiences, outdoor adventure, fantastic family fun, or culinary delights,
you’ll find it all in Brantford – the big city with a small town feel.

We hope you enjoy your visit and look forward to welcoming you back.

Sincerely,

welcome
Kevin Davis,
Mayor

The Grand River

 Located just outside of the Greater Golden
 Horseshoe, Six Nations of the Grand River
 Territory is just one of the many Haudenosaunee
 communities in North America, and the only
 community to house all six of the Haudenosaunee
 Nations (Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca,
 Onondaga, and Tuscarora). It is also the most
 populated Indigenous community in Canada.

 did you know?
 The “Haldimand Proclamation” was granted to the Six Nations for the land
 losses of homelands, as well as in recognition of the alliance with the British
 during the American Revolution. This consists of 950,000 acres, six miles deep
 on each side of the Grand River. Today, the community is located on 4.9% of
 the Haldimand Tract. Ohsweken or “Oswe:ge,” as it is traditionally pronounced,
 is at the heart of Six Nations, and roughly translates to “a place you all see.”

      This beautiful public art piece,
        located outside the Wayne
   Gretzky Sports Centre entrance,
  was created by Brad Oldham and
 donated to the community in 2013
 by The Gretzky Project. It features
       a 12 foot sculpture of Wayne
    Gretzky, cast in bronze, hoisting
   the Stanley Cup over his head in
    victory and a life-size depiction
   of Wayne as a child with parents
Walter and Phyllis Gretzky standing
          as a family and looking on.
    The piece plays homage to the
   Centre’s namesake in the hub of
 the Tournament Capital of Ontario.
