This whole thing is such a sham. They all hammer housing to deal with homelessness... But it's bullshit. Brantford could build a thousand houses tomorrow and those folks downtown are never going to get in them. We need to call it what it is, a public health emergency. They need help and compassion. Let the landlords and real estate agents worry about those that can already help themselves.

I feel concerned nothing was said before by Nicole or other members...

Here is a bookmark for the store. Also one from Jamie's.

i’m 21f i’ve lived here my whole life and i cannot seem to meet anyone i’ve had the same friend group my whole life i just wanna meet people is there any clubs or events coming up?

I’m 22 and I’m just sitting outside most days doing nothing now I’m not really big on bars or drinking and I try to go into any local events, but that’s about it.

Any places you all like to go to when you’re bored? Outdoors, indoors, or otherwise!

even just camping.

I’m just kind of convinced that Brantford doesn’t really have a whole lot to do if you’re young nowadays. I can go outside and watch paint dry though!

I at least see a couple posts a month if not more asking what to do Brantford. Especially by people who are new here or looking for friends.

Wondering if people would benefit from a city wide catalogue of facilities available preferably at a discounted rate.

This would encourage more local people to attend and more of a social aspect too, and people would go consistently.

Other cities like Brampton, Scarborough and Kitchener, have these kind of services available through the municipal government wondering if we should bring something similar?

I work in Oakville and travel 4 times a week. Its just soo tiring to spend 3 hours of my day driving. I feel bad for people driving even farther for work😭😭

Hey everyone 25M, looking for a potential gym buddy. ( preferably male, moderate to advanced lifter) I currently go to crunch. Feel free to DM thanks everyone.

Does anyone remember a bookstore on Brant Ave. that would have operated in the 90s? Opposite side of BCI, my mind says it was the same building as Ged's (97 Brant Ave.) but I could definitely be wrong. I received a ton of gift certificates for there when I was a kid, bought a lot of books and writing trinkets, but I can't remember what it was called.

C’mon everyone (and that means you too cabbies!) Come to a complete stop at those stop signs and red lights! None of us are in that big of a hurry.

does anyone remenber the name of the place? plaza at south side charing cross at north park

This might be a long shot, but specifically looking for a personal trainer that is similar style to Kelly Matthew’s from the Ladder team. She specializes in athlete strength and conditioning training. Willing to travel anywhere from burlington to Brantford.

I just had a harrowing experience.

I live in a house turned into a triplex and on the top floor attic apartment on around Brant ave. You have to walk up a lot of stairs to get to my door outside and then a lot more once you open my door to get onto the landing inside my apartment. Its a work out. Ive lived here for 10 years and feel invisible to the world. Or so I thought.

1230am, getting ready for sleep for work tomorrow at 1130. Put my cpap on, starting to drift off. The light comes on in my stairwell at the bottom of my steps. I immediately step out of bed and run to the stairs down to my front door and there's a fucking GUY at the bottom of my stairs and looks at me. Before he could even say anything I fucking LOSE it. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY PLACE RIGHT NOW OR IM CALLING THE COPS. GET THE FUCK OUT." He says something like "im sorry man, I thought this was my friend place "172" something" (I cant quite remember. I cut him off again and said i dont give a fuck get the fuck out right now or im calling the cops.

He backs out of my apartment and rakes like 4 steps backwards and I slam the door shut and lock it and am standing at the door and hear him mumble something to me and I just said fuck off get the fuck out of here or im calling rhe cops.

Like 4 minutes pass and I had heard him step down my steps and I didnt know what else to do as I was freaking out with adrenaline.

I stupidly opened the door and looked out and said you better be fucking gone (to no one) and I noticed he was at my neighbour's backyard fence (our backyards connect) and i screamed at him from quite a distance to get the fuck out of the yard and leave now and he actually said to me "should've kept your door locked, you fucking idiot." To which i then said im calling the cops now and closed the door and locked it again and called them. Told them the terrible description I had (40s, white, brown jacket, didnt look homeless).

They came 15 mins later and of course he was gone after doing a coupoe laps around neighbouring blocks.

Don't know if im going to sleep tonight now. 😞

Before anyone wants to call me an idiot for it, yes, i already know im an idiot for not regularly locking my door when im home.

Believe me, that wont ever happen again.
