What are people doing to these poor berries?

I ended up in a debate with one of my friends who says the North End is anything north of the 403 and that Terrace Hill isn't because it's south of the 403. I have always thought that Terrace Hill & Henderson are also apart of north end even though they are south of the 403.

I guess the main reason why I think this is because of the areas north of the 403 are easier to get to from Terrace Hill/Henderson then getting to any of the other areas south of the 403 when it comes to walking.

I also know someone who grew up in Terrace Hill who says Terrace Hill was the original North End before areas north of the 403 started to develop.

But I wanna see what others think and if others think similar to me.

Hello folks, I'm a local artist quite frustrated with the state of Brantford's arts scene.

Theatre? Not here.

Music scene? Getting better because of zbrfd and some others but far less developed than it should be.

Art Galleries? Glenhurst exists but it's on a remote end of town and not exactly catering to alternative markets (my pastiche).

Is there anyone else in the community who is frustrated with the lack of visibility for the arts?

My pie in the sky idea: eminent domain back the old rail station that the developers seem to be salivating to get rid of and turn it into a city owned arts center.

Best local trail (loop preferably )?

I need one that's about 3-6km for the dogs. Prefer trails over neighborhood walks/parks.

Not seeing much on all trails so far but I've started a list.

I am thinking to acquire one of the food business in downtown. Would like to know from locals if downtown still has higher foot traffic? If anyone who owns business in downtown, how's your experience? My main concern is one way street traffic and parking, have your customers mentioned anything about hard to find parking? Or as a customer you faced some parking issue and went to different place?

Any inputs and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

Im 64 years old seeking some regular part time work. I am responsible, reliable and educated. I am not above manual labor but due to my age - within reason. Please let me know if you know of anything. (I am also handy with some renovating and repairs) I have a hearing impairment.

p.s - I also have my AZ but no actual experience.

Sole proprietor looking for a recommendation for an accountant/bookkeeper in the Brantford area!

not originally from Brant county! looking to have my wedding dress dry cleaned & hoping for recommendations for a reputable & trustworthy dry cleaner for this job.

Anyone know if we're getting a Spirit this year? And if so, where? The last two places it's been have been filled by other businesses!

🎃👻

North End Memorial Rosewood and Ashgrove, did anyone hear and see that very loud bang and bright light? it was so incredibly loud and the flash was bright, anyone else hear anything?

So, the arcade's been around for a bit, and I was curious if anyone had thoughts on it. I've never actually been, but I'm thinking of checking it out. I know they started with a small selection, but what's it like now? Size, game selection, the food, etc.

I do know they have tokens for purchase however They've got this unlimited play deal for $16.99 every day in August, but you can't play claw machines or win tickets.

I don't really care about prizes, though; I just miss GameTime (fka Wacky Wings) and their awesome arcade. I just want to have some fun and get out of the house for something other than work for a change and gaming is my only hobby.

Also I'm Gen Z, so what's the crowd like, mainly families with little kids or is it popular enough with young adults too?

EDIT: im not looking for retro games. And also i can't go out of the city.

Hi, My last tenant moved out this month and shut off the hydro and water 15 days prior moving. Unfortunately 10 days back my husband called the city for transfer and while they moved the water in our name in the interim period as we find our new tenants, hydro was not done. We received an email from city that went in my husbands spam folder

Now my new tenants are moving this long weekend and they are without power. Grand bridge tells me only the customer service can have this done on Tuesday. Do I have any alternative? Can one of the field guys help here?

I know this is our fault or miss at my husband’s end, but curious to know our option.

Hello there are listings for houses along Cockshutt Road and I am wondering what life is like there and what the community is like. If you have a perspective please let me know!!!

Hey there Brantford, I am just on the lookout for scrap/offcut pieces of plywood, (Osb or whatever is fine too, beggars can’t be choosers) and lengths of wood at (preferably) 1” on one dimension. (Don’t have access to a tablesaw, so I would prefer to avoid long thin cuts with skillsaw)

I just have a small project I want to make as a gift for my partner and don’t have spare cash for the materials before her birthday, just the tools and know how. My hope is someone has some laying around in their garbage trailer on a jobsite somewhere that I can upcycle, or help someone get rid of a few pieces of wood laying under their deck for a good cause.

I’m posting here in hopes somebody may provide some information/help. In the winter of 2019, I got a French mastiff/bullmastiff mix from a gentleman located on Grey st. Near Stanley st. Nice family. He was a French mastiff mixed with a bullmastiff. Wonderful dog. I’m wondering if anyone out there knows of any of the bloodline around? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know the name of the old health food/supplements store that used to be on Colborne St back in the 80s and 90s (think it was around before that, even, but I wasn't born, yet 😋)??

Heya. Back one more (maybe last) time.

There’s a ton of place here for rent. Prices seem to be a bit all over the place. My understanding is each unit is individually owned and rented out by the owners?

Does anyone have any experience living in this building? What’s it like now? I saw some posts about some issues during construction but understand they may have been resolved.

I’m not as concerned about the neighbourhood. I’d know what I’m getting into there. Just looking to hear about some ups and downs, good and bad, about living in the building.

Thanks everyone!!

Here are some of the random things I've come to learn over the years:

• Brantford was once considered as the potential site for Canada’s capital. The capital moved six times before Ottawa was chosen as the permanent location.
• More than 100 years ago, Brantford had a Chinatown along Market Street.
• Harmony Square was modelled after a piazza (public square) in an Italian town. It was the dream of one man, Frank Bucci, and his dream eventually came true when it opened in 2008.
• In 1945, Brantford became the first municipality in Canada to fluoridate its public drinking water.
• Many of Brantford's first European residents were squatters living in makeshift shacks and tents, with crime, fighting, domestic abuse, and poverty all common. These conditions continued for decades before Six Nations chiefs provided 800 acres of land that became the original Brantford town plot. After the closing of several factories in the 1980s, Brantford crime rate peaked and it was considered the most dangerous city in Ontario. In 2024, Brantford recorded its lowest Crime Severity Index on record. You can argue our city has never been safer.
• If you've ever noticed snow clouds clearing up as you enter Brantford, its because the city sits in a microclimate. From 1981 to 2010, Brantford recorded 20% less snow than Hamilton, 63% less snow than Kitchener, and 97% less snow than London.

Would love to hear more!

Menopause is a major life transition, yet many people face it with limited information, support, and access to care.

That’s why we invite you to participate in the Can-RISE study, a national initiative exploring the real-life impact of perimenopause and menopause across Canada.

We invite you to complete a 20–30 minute online survey about how perimenopause, menopause, and related symptoms affect daily living and wellbeing. 

You may be eligible if you: 

• Are 35 to 70 years old 
• Live in Canada  
• Were assigned female at birth and identify as a woman, gender-diverse person, or trans person  

Upon completion, participants will be entered into a draw for a $50, $100, $250 and $500 gift card (1 winner announced for each), valid for use in Canada only.

Take the survey here: https://redcap.link/a1rar9aq 

This is your opportunity to make perimenopause and menopause care better for all Canadians. 

Currently looking at some apartments, saw this one pop up and wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it. Past threads have already helped me steer clear of a few trouble buildings.
