Brantford’s new 2022-2026 City Council sworn in at Inaugural meeting Tuesday night

BRANTFORD, ON – Tonight, Council members of the City of Brantford 2022-2026 term of Council swore their oaths of office at their official inaugural meeting and Mayor Kevin Davis delivered his inaugural address whereby he outlined key goals, objectives and community priorities that Council will focus on over the next four years.

“Each new member of council – new or returning – comes to council with ideas about how to improve our community. It’s important that we work together to craft a common vision of council’s goals for the next term,” said Mayor Kevin Davis in his inaugural address, “We will see a growing city with new opportunities – for employment, attainable housing, education, retail, entertainment, transportation and more. We will face challenges, differences, and as in the past, we will adapt, learn and make those opportunities work for our community.”

Over 80 people were in attendance inside Council Chambers, this being the first inauguration to take place in new City Hall at 58 Dalhousie Street. The new space accommodates a larger amount of people than previous Council Chambers and is equipped to stream meetings of Council live on the City of Brantford’s YouTube channel.
