– Now: • Just Over 2,000 students• 11 Different Honours Programs• Owns 13 Buildings
Mustang’s Den
• Why Laurier Brantford is good for Brantford– Brantford was a “manufacturer’s town”– Businesses closed – leaving many out of a job– Since then – Brantford doesn’t have a way to draw
people into our city• A reason to move here!
– Young adults leave for university and never come back
Mustang’s Den
• Why Brantford is good for Laurier– Laurier’s main campus is located in Waterloo– They have run out of space to expand their
student population– Laurier has a small student population as far as
University’s go– They opened up a satellite campus here in order
to expand their school, programs and also to make more $$$$$$$

• Conestoga College– Will begin offering a 2 year business program in
downtown Brantford– Will also offer a graduate Human Resources program in
downtown Brantford– Have plans of expanding
programs in the future– Expected hundreds to begin
and up to thousands of students in the future
Downtown Street Conversion
• It has been proposed – and most likely to pass at city council to convert Colborne and Dalhousie to 2 way roads
• The theory: – 2 way roads slow down cars, encourage stop &
shop rather than drive through the downtown– Make things safer for pedestrian foot traffic• Many of whom are students or families for weekend
events
Downtown Events
• All events take place in Harmony Square– Frosty Fest– Movie Night in the Square
• Every Thursday in the summer
– Skating & A Movie• Movie shown in the public library
– Chilli Willy Cook-off– Car Shows– Friday Night Bands in the Square
