What does 'Our Bridge to Your Future', mean?
The Grand River has been significant in Brantford for almost 200 years since the Indigenous peoples including the Neutral Tribe, Anishinabe and Haudenosaunee Nations separated 800 acres of their land and Chief Joseph Brant gave it for the creation of a new non-native community. It represented an historic bridging of two nations in peace. To this day we live in harmony, as demonstrated in the Wampum signifying two nations travelling along the same river independent yet respectful of our separate cultures.
Also, the investments in early manufacturing bridged Brantford to be one of the largest industrial giants in Canada in the 1800’s including, at the turn of the century, one of the first electric streetcar systems, shown here in an artistic rendering merged next to the current library.
