Safety Village Receives Trillium Grant

Local representatives of Brantford, Brant County, and The Six Nations of the Grand River, gathered at the Safety Village to celebrate a $20,700 Capital Grant from the Ontario Government through the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). The grant has enabled us to purchase 30 children’s bikes (for our Bike Safety programme) and 32 learning tablets (for our Internet and Fire Safety programme) that will be used to aid our  Safety education programmes.
