Article content
Brant County has launched a new webpage that connects residents to community resources and services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The webpage at www.brant.ca/BrantCares highlights a number of businesses and community services that have changed their regular practice to meet the needs of residents.
“This is what our community is all about,” said Brant Mayor David Bailey.
“In our community, we take care of each other. The people who offer a variety of services and supports are innovative, nimble and are responding to a variety of community needs.”
The webpage includes special accommodations to support seniors, community supports, volunteer resources and a variety of local delivery (or call and collect) food and grocery services, take-out restaurants and on-line shopping options to name a few, said Lesley Head, Brant’s director of recreation and community development.
“We want to connect citizens with the resources they need as efficiently as possible.”
Bailey said many county residents and businesses have stepped up to help.
“Although this time is challenging, it is certainly bringing out the best in many people,” he said.
“Neighbours are helping neighbours. Strangers are helping strangers. Citizens are doing many things to lift spirits of others and make a difference.”
