Brantford Community Info

The beautiful city of Brantford has a reputation of being accessible, friendly, progressive and a great place to live and visit.

Known throughout the world as the Telephone City, the place where in the summer of 1874, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone at his family's homestead, Brantford is a city with an illustrious history, prosperous future, and innovative by nature.

Alexander Graham Bell was not the only local person to bring Brantford fame, however. This is the city that lays claim to such sports greats as Tom Longboat (Canadian marathon runner) and Wayne Gretzky (the world's greatest hockey player), artists Lawren Harris and Robert Whale, inventor of the electron microscope Dr. James Hillier, and distinguished writers Thomas B. Costain and Sarah Jeannette Duncan.

Brantford has countless experiences waiting to be discovered and it is fast becoming a garden of growing minds as heritage buildings in downtown Brantford find new purpose, providing academic, research and living space for thousands of students from Laurier Brantford University, Mohawk College and Nipissing's Schulich School of Education.

Whether you want cultural experiences, sporting events, outdoor adventure, family fun, award-winning festivals or culinary delights, you'll find it in Brantford.
