Leash and pick up reminder

Please leash and pick up after your pet, it's the law! Pets must always be on leash in all parks and open spaces. If you would like to enjoy a beautiful day with your dog off-leash, please visit Dogford Park. 

Smoke-free Brantford

It is now illegal to smoke near all playgrounds and sports fields. In Brantford, smoking on all municipal properties is restricted. The Smoke-free Ontario Act restricts smoking within a 20m distance of all playgrounds and sports fields or spectating areas. This includes bleachers or benches for all sports fields.

Please be mindful of this law and obey all signage. Tobacco Control Officers will conduct inspections and enforce this smoking legislation. Areas include:

  • arenas
  • festival and events located on City property
  • park playgrounds
  • picnic shelters and pavilions
  • properties including City Hall, libraries and community centres
  • splash pads and outdoor pools
  • sports bleachers or stands
  • sports or playing fields
