It was a fun way to start a Friday. 80 people joined the Near and Dear event starting at the Brantford Public Library and heading out to explore the downtown core.

The day is all about learning about each other, sharing stories about our community, and having an adventure in the neighbourhood that is unique to each of them

The group including students from Central Public School came back with great stories and information to create an asset map of the community. An example of an asset is the Harmonica Guild that meets twice each month and welcomes everyone. For more information call Joe at 513-646-9493 or email at [email protected]
