The County of Brant celebrated the annual Salute to Brant Business event on Thursday, September 21, 2023.
“It was a wonderful evening of celebrating our business community,” said Zach Gable, Director of Economic Development and Tourism. “We were also excited to be able to showcase the new TF Warren Group Cainsville Community Centre which has been a great addition to this area of the County.”

“As always we want to thank the business community for choosing the County of Brant,” said Gable. “We also want to thank those who took the time to nominate a business, and of course, we share our congratulations to this year’s award recipients, as well as the nominees.”
