After the walk, snacks and refreshments were served. Staff also led a trivia activity about the Grand River Council on Aging and senior resources available in the Brantford community.

We would like to thank everyone who generously donated to this intiative. Your kindness and support are greatly appreciated.

GRCOA Makes Valuable Connections at Chamber Trade Show!

The Grand River Council on Aging enjoyed connecting with local businesses and community organizations at the 18th Annual Chamber Trade Show on October 20!

A highlight was sharing information about our upcoming Housing Guide for Older Adults and exploring exciting new sponsorship opportunities.

A big thank you to our wonderful volunteers who helped make the evening a success! Linda Davies and Janet Barnard were pleased to present Chamber President Joy O'Donnell with a 2027 Age-Friendly Calendar.

Together, we're building connections and creating a more age-friendly community!
