Brant Waterways Foundation will be hosting their annual fundraising event, this year, entitled “GRANDELICIOUS BY THE LAKE,” which will take place on Thursday May 22, 2025.
The May fundraiser, which will run from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the Mohawk Lake Pavilion, is a premier community event and a key source of funds for Brant Waterways’ community projects. The cocktail party style event will raise funds towards tree plantings, environmental advocacy, improved river access points and local trail improvements.
GRANDELICIOUS BY THE LAKE is an all-inclusive event – tickets are $150 and features amazing food by Delvins Country Bistro, refreshments provided by Sassy Britches Brewing, Vodka Friday, Altitude Coffee and Manns Distillery. Live music by the local band Post Sinatra. Tax receipts are issued for the charitable portion of the ticket.
Funds raised will support the following community projects: D’Aubigny Creek River Access Project (City of Brantford); trail signage at Barker’s Bush (County of Brant); an Ecological Study at Rotary Centennial Waterworks Park (City of Brantford); annual tree plantings organized by the Brant Tree Coalition, a sub-committee of Brant Waterways.
Established in 1988, Brant Waterways was the brain child of Mary Welsh and a group of like-minded, forward thinking citizens who recognized an opportunity to purchase abandoned railway lines and convert them into a passive trail system. Over the past 37 years, Brant Waterways has contributed over $5M to Brant, Brantford and Six Nations of the Grand River to projects that protect and enhance the Grand River Valley and its adjacent lands. The Grand River and its major tributaries were designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1994.
The mission of Brant Waterways Foundation is to provide funding assistance and advocacy to projects in Brantford, Brant County and Six Nations of the Grand River that enhance, restore, protect and preserve our natural heritage of the Grand River, its waterways and adjacent lands to provide recreational opportunities, a healthy environment and sustainable use.
