Brantford, like many other communities in Southern Ontario, seems to be trying too hard to rehabilitate a dead downtown core. Dajhorn 04:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
We should list all of the films that were shot in Brantford
The WLU Brantford campus is growing...Last I heard their enrollment was something like 1400. That doesn't seem token to me.
I've requested a peer review for this article. If you're interested in giving some feedback, click here. Thanks, Bobanny 00:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was to move, apparently.
This is to propose that this article be renamed to
Brantford. This is clearly primary usage within Canada. When searching the U.S. Gazetteer
[1] for "Brantford", only 2 entries for "Brantford Township" are returned (one in KS, the other in SD, neither has a 1990 population of more than 158). UK Ordnance survey doesn't seem to have a Brantford
[2] and neither does any Brantford appear on the UK Coal Authority's gazetteer.
[3] Google on "brantford -ontario" seems to return only Brantford, Ontario related items anyway. Seems Brantford is overwhelmingly
WP:PRIMARYUSAGE and simplification should not pose any ambiguation problem.

I haven't been adding the demographics section over the last week or so, but is there any reason why it can't stay? I see it's been reverted several times.... Ahsile ( talk) 15:08, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello Brantfordians - I found the article for King George VI Secondary School today, which is in rough shape. The problem is that I cannot find any information about the school; no address, no website, nothing. Does the school exist? Can some of you please update the article? Thanks, PK T(alk) 17:11, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
A lot of information, including entire sections, is not given a source. I've added some sources and will continue to do, but the entire article needs work, especially the lead, the history section, and the economy section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandon1930 ( talk • contribs) 11:33, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

I think the article has sufficient citations now. If no one objects, I'm going to remove the template message. MaxwellArcher ( talk) 02:29, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
The infobox is saying that Brantford's county is Brant and that it is independent from Brant. I don't see how Brantford may, for geographic purposes, be within Brant County. They are both single-tier municipalities and therefore, for municipal purposes, they are geographically separate.
O. Reg. 180/03 prescribes that single-tier municipalities within the same geographic area (defined in Schedules 1 and 2 of the regulation) as an upper-tier municipality are, for geographic purposes, situated within the respective upper-tier municipality.
Historically, some local municipalities as well as the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the Provisional County of Haliburton were, for judicial purposes, geographically situated within a county (or, for the case of Haliburton County, another county) but were geographically separate from the respective county for municipal purposes. Territorial Division Act, RSO 1980, c 497 Haliburton Act, RSO 1970, c 198
If Ontario municipalities are considered census divisions and subdivisions, I think Brant County should be considered a census subdivision and not a census division.
The County of Brant and the City of Brantford are single-tier municipalities within a single census division with the generic type "Census division". Similarly, the single-tier municipalities of Haldimand County and Norfolk County are within the single census division Haldimand-Norfolk with the generic type "Census division".
A census subdivision exists with the name "Brant" and type "City". Prior to Municipal Act, 2001 coming into force, the single-tier municipality of Brant may have had the former official status of a city. The census subdivision type may be "City" due to the former status of the municipality. Alternatively, the census subdivision type may be "City" because the type "County" is nonexistent.

It's part of Brant's history true, it's simply given too much prominence in the lead. It did not define Brant and I would not characterize him as a trader, more simply a slave owner. He was also a soldier and farmer. Not mentioned, so it is a bit of cherry-picking to put slave trader first. Alaney2k ( talk) 13:05, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
After reading the Lord Mayor article, it seems there is a discrepancy, as apparently Walter Gretzky was named the Lord Mayor of Brantford. Please read PDF for more information. Cltjames ( talk) 20:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
