The City of Brantford is recognizing October 8 as Walter Gretzky Day.
The City wanted to recognize Gretzky for his countless contributions as an advocate for community organizations and his dedication for coaching youth and supporting Brantford’s local charities.
Not only will Walter always be remembered as a beloved father, friend, coach, mentor and neighbour, he will also forever be known for championing his community at every opportunity.
Gretzky passed away on March 4, but the City is asking residents to join them in continuing to pay tribute to Walter and the Gretzky family and to show our deep respect and appreciation for everything he means to our city and the many children and people he has touched by his kindness and generosity.
