City of Brantford
Located along the Grand River in Southwestern Ontario, Brantford is a thriving, city of over 100,000 residents known as the "Telephone City"—where Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Offering a "small-town feel" with urban amenities, it is a hub for arts, culture, and sports, famously the birthplace of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, painter Lauren Harris and comedic legend Phil Hartman.
