The Brant Community Foundations Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) was pleased to award the 2019 Ontario Endowment Fund for Children and Youth in Recreation grants.
The YAC’s hosted a cheque presentation at the Brant Community Foundation office awarding a total of $4,325.00 in grants from the Ontario Endowment Fund for Children and Youth in Recreation.
This year’s grants were awarded to the following organizations in support of youth programs:
- Brantford Symphony Orchestra for the “Bach to the Future” youth concert.

- Optimist Club of Scotland for the safe playground equipment fundraiser.
- Paris Port Dover Pipe Band for sheet music for the development program for bagpipes and drums.
- YMCA Brantford for the “Youth Fusion Project” memberships
The presentation provided a great opportunity for our youth committee to network and learn more about the organizations and how the funds would make a difference in their community.
