Let's talk about a Sports Entertainment Centre
Thank you to everyone who participated in earlier phases of consultation to help shape the vision for a proposed new Sports and Entertainment Centre (SEC).
We are excited to share and collect your feedback on the preliminary concept designs for the proposed Sports and Entertainment Centre, before Council makes a final decision to advance the project.
The designs reflect the considerable feedback gathered to date and outline what a modern, multi-purpose Sports and Entertainment Centre in downtown Brantford could look like. Your input at this stage is critical to ensure the project reflects the needs and aspirations of our community.
