Brantford 2050

The City of Brantford landscape with text that reads Brantford 2050: Mapping our path forward

In June 2024, we began the exciting process of engaging the community to help us plan for our city's future. The development of a new City of Brantford Vision, "Brantford 2050: Mapping Our Path Forward Together" is an important opportunity to imagine the future of Brantford, and establish an updated mission, vision and values statement that guides City of Brantford planning and prioritizing over the next several decades.

With our city experiencing unprecedented growth, alongside challenges like housing affordability, climate issues, and social changes, now is the time for us to shape Brantford's future hand in hand with the community.

Let's talk about a Brantford 2050 that is inclusive and forward-thinking, laying the groundwork for the next generation. Our goal? To build a city that's for everyone, where we care for both our community and our environment.

To ensure the community’s vital input was integrated into the City of Brantford 2050 Vision document, we’ve conducted an extensive community-wide conversation, to hear your thoughts about these key areas of focus:

  • Business and industry
  • Climate and sustainability
  • Fostering a welcoming and diverse community
  • Connected Community
  • Tourism, sport and culture
  • Supporting our most vulnerable citizens

The Brantford 2050 Vision document can be viewed on our Let’s Talk Brantford project webpage. Community members are welcome to share their thoughts and further feedback on the Vision in the Let’s Talk discussion forum.

Our sincere thanks to the nearly 1,000 residents who participated in the survey, focus groups, and interviews conducted to solicit the community’s insights, perspectives, and feedback that were needed to be able to develop an informed Brantford 2050 Vision.
