With online voting starting next Tuesday, Oct 13th, and advanced in person next Thursday, Oct 15th, here's a quick guide to ensure you're ready.

1. Register to vote

The starting point, ensuring your voters information is updated and correct. If you have received your voters card recently, you are likely good to go, of you haven't, please visit the site below to double check your information.

www.registertovoteon.ca

If you don't have time to do so before Oct 26th, come to the polling both with a government issued ID showing your current address.

2. Identify what Ward you are in

Good day everyone

The candidates for City Council of Ward 5 have been invited to another public meet & greet, this time at Pop Up in the Park @ Central Park, Monday September 28th from 5pm to 7pm, weather permitted.

I can't speak to the attendance of the other candidates (perhaps they can post here or message me privately), but they tend to show up to these as well. A great opportunity to meet your future representatives, and to share your experiences with us.

Come out, chat about any concerns or praise you have for your area and the city, exchange ideas, and lets plan for a better Ward for ourselves.

Cheers 🍻

Let's go, come on out and meet your 2026 municipal representatives. There will be a Q&A for the mayoral candidates, and personal opportunities to chat with your ward reps.

This event will include the County of Brant and City of Brantford representatives.

Edited to add info

Good day all

Just a reminder, with City Council returning from their month off, council meetings resume this week. Next week though, they will be reviewing changes to the proposal on this site, and delegations can be done in person.

If you have anything to share, please consider going to the meeting.

Thank you

Saturday, September 19th at 3PM, The Brantford Mosque at 192 Greenwich Street will host the 2026 Mayor Debate. Feel free to come out, chat with the candidates, and perhaps meet the candidates from your ward that may be in attendance.
