Contact Brant was proud to be a community partner in celebrating Mental Health Week. This year’s theme was, “Come Together, Canada: Stronger Connections, Better Mental Health.”

From meaningful conversations to creative activities, it was all about building connections, offering support, and breaking the stigma around mental health.

Mental health matters, every single day.
How do you make mental health a priority?

To all the mothers and caregivers - this Mother’s Day is for you!

While some may be celebrating with big plans, others may be spending the day more quietly. Some will be greeted with handmade crafts and excited little voices, while others are still waiting to hear that first “Mom.”
However you spend it, know that you are seen and appreciated. Love shows up in so many ways - often in the small, everyday moments that don’t always get noticed.

We hope you find a gentle moment to share with your little (or not-so-little one).

Tell us what are you most looking forward to, or how you are planning to carve out a little “me time” this Mother’s Day?

Last night’s 42nd Annual Business Excellence Awards Gala was a true celebration of the incredible work happening across Brantford’s vibrant business community.

From meaningful connections to uplifting stories, it was inspiring to see so many organizations recognized for the positive impact they’re making every day.

Contact Brant was honoured to be nominated for the OLG Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Award, and we extend our heartfelt congratulations to the YMCA on their well-deserved win!

We’re so grateful for the recognition and remain committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the services we provide, while fostering a culture where everyone feels they truly belong. We’re proud to continue this important work moving forward!

We recently participated in a Community Spring Exchange - a dynamic speed networking event with community partners, hosted by the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nations EarlyON.

It was a fantastic opportunity to see new and familiar faces, share the impact of our work, and explore the beautiful EarlyON centre.

The air was filled with high energy, engaging conversations, and new connections, leaving everyone inspired by the power of community!

From the bottom of our hearts - Miigwech (thank you)!

They had us at cookies 🍪

Our team had so much fun volunteering to decorate Smile cookies last week at 50 Market Street! It was amazing to see and were named as the 2026 Smile Cookie charity recipients, with support from 19 Tim Hortons locations across Brantford.

Every cookie truly made a difference! After all, cookies + community = the best combo.

What an empowering evening! Last night, Contact Brant attended the Riverside Hub community open house, as a proud partner in this impactful project. With a strong turnout, community members had the opportunity to learn about the services and supports that will be offered, meet the community partners involved, and explore how this shared space will make a meaningful difference in Brantford.

The Riverside Hub is envisioned as a space for community, bringing essential services together all under one roof in Brantford’s downtown core. It will be home to wellness, mental health, social recreation, and developmental service organizations that strengthen and support our community. Planning is well underway for this long-anticipated hub, which reflects the power of collaboration and a shared vision for a stronger future. Stay tuned for more exciting updates ahead!

As Autism Awareness and Acceptance month comes to an end, advocacy doesn’t end here - it carries forward in the moments that truly connect us.

That sense of connection was felt at a recent event hosted by the Urgent Response Service team, where service providers gathered together with a shared focus on improving outcomes for families.

The day featured an insightful presentation from CAMH and the Caregiver Engagement Lead at Bethesda on the Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) program, an engaging session on effective listening from Thames Valley Children’s Centre, and a powerful caregiver panel sharing lived experiences. Their stories resonated deeply with everyone - there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Caregiver voices are truly invaluable!

Moments like these remind us why ongoing understanding, acceptance, and inclusion matter always.

Let’s keep the momentum going.
Drop a 💜 to continue the conversation.
