When will the relay be coming to Brantford, Ontario? I am Brantford’s Official Town Crier and would like to vociferously ring in the relay. Actually, the organizers would be wise to find out which of the communities have Town Criers and request their audible presence as the relay goes through.

Our tentative schedule for Brantford is around September 1 although that is subject to change as the relay progresses.
