The city also offers financial support to ensure recreation remains accessible to everyone. The Can We Help program provides funding for youth aged 17 and under, with full coverage available for those receiving Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program benefits. Additionally, the Arnold Anderson Sport Fund offers up to $350 in financial assistance to help youth up to 18 years of age cover registration costs for sports activities.
Residents are encouraged to share their feedback on local programming by completing a survey at letstalkbrantford.ca/recsurvey. Participants who provide their contact information after completing the survey will be entered for a chance to win a $50 recreation gift card, with the contest closing on Wednesday, August 5, 2026.
