Annual maintenance of Brant War Memorial scheduled for April 15 to 24

BRANTFORD, ON – From April 15 to 24, 2026, the City of Brantford will be completing annual scheduled maintenance on the Brant War Memorial, located in War Memorial Park at 6 Dalhousie Street. This routine work helps preserve and protect public art pieces so that they can continue to be enjoyed by residents and visitors. While maintenance is underway, residents are advised to exercise caution in the area where maintenance work is being completed.

The City of Brantford’s Economic Development, Tourism & Cultural Initiatives Department is responsible for the annual maintenance of the City’s Public Art Collection. Public art is often at risk of damage by the environment and/or human interaction with the pieces. Specifically, factors that affect the City’s bronze monuments include humidity, ultraviolet light, acid rain, poor water drainage, proximity to city streets, and public use. The Brant War Memorial will be conserved onsite by a conservator accredited with the Canadian Association of Professional Conservators.
