BRANTFORD, ON – The City is pleased to announce that in-person summer programming for all ages will be returning to Harmony Square, 89 Dalhousie Street, throughout July and August 2021. All programs are free (with exception to roller skate rentals and the D.I.Y. workshops). Pre-registration is required for all activities, with limited spots available. All programs will adhere to the current public health guidelines that are required.

“The programming will look different but we are so excited to be able to offer in-person recreational activities this summer,” says Jennifer Middleton, Coordinator of Special Events for the City of Brantford. “The community has missed the opportunity to gather in Harmony Square, so we are happy to bring some opportunities back in a safe way to enjoy the outdoors, engage with others, while creating memories,”

From Yogalates to Roller Skating and much more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Registration opens on Brantford.ca/RecConnect every Wednesday at 8 a.m. for activities taking place the following week. The first day to register is June 30, 2021 for activities taking place the week of July 5, 2021. Registration for the D.I.Y. Workshops will open on June 18. Fitness programming will be offered in four-week increments with July class registrations beginning on Wednesday, June 30 at 8 a.m. The August fitness class registration date will be announced in July.
