County of Brant announced the opening of the new Brant-Brantford Paramedic Services headquarters, which is located near the County of Brant and City of Brantford border, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025.
“We are incredibly happy to be moved into our new space,” said Russell King, Chief of the Brant-Brantford Paramedic Service. “This location will provide the essential infrastructure needed to support our growing communities and we are thankful to everyone who has been involved in bringing this phase of the project to completion.”
This important project provides much-needed space for the administration, training, and operational functions of Paramedic Services. The facility consolidates administrative operations under one roof, ensuring more efficient service delivery and improved communication amongst staff.
Construction at the property (a site secured through a long-term lease agreement with GrandBridge Energy Inc. and GrandBridge Solutions Inc.) includes two phases:
“GrandBridge Energy is proud to collaborate with the County of Brant to construct the new Brant-Brantford Paramedic Services headquarters, located adjacent to our facility on Savannah Oaks Drive. It has been incredibly rewarding to oversee Phase 1 of the build and now welcome the Paramedic Services team to their new, energy-efficient space. With Phase 2 well underway, this consolidated facility will soon bring critical operations together and enhance emergency response services for the entire region,” said Sarah Hughes, President and CEO of GrandBridge Energy.
Phase 1 has included the renovation of 27,448 sq. ft. of office space. The space has been designed to meet the needs of a modern Paramedic Service, with appropriate space for crew lounge, quiet room, peer support room, community paramedicine, offices, locker rooms, gym, meeting space, storage and multiple training spaces.
Phase 2 involves the construction of new garage space and an active ambulance base, at 28,524 sq. ft. This space will be brand new construction, designed to accommodate up to 35 vehicles to meet current and future needs of the Service. Construction is expected to be completed in 2026.
The new headquarters is part of a broader strategic initiative to enhance emergency preparedness and response in the County and City. The projected $2.1 million approximate annual cost for the headquarters and garage facilities will be shared among the Province of Ontario, the County of Brant and the City of Brantford.
A grand opening is planned for 2026 following the completion of Phase 2.
