Update on the Brant Sports Complex Expansion: February 2026

What we heard

Between January 21 and February 9, 2025, we asked County of Brant residents to help shape the Brant Sports Complex Expansion through surveys and engagement activities.

During that period:

• We shared design options.
• We collected your survey responses.
• We held discussions with community members through in-person events held at the end of January.

Key themes from the feedback include:

• Design options that serve a range of ages and sports.
• Accessible facilities and pathways are valued.
• Clear timelines and funding clarity are important.
• Regular updates and opportunities to share more input are needed.

You can review the full Survey Responses Report for more detail. This feedback helped refine priorities for the final design.

Where we are now

Staff presented design options to the Administration and Operations Committee on May 20, 2025.
Unfortunately in July 2025, the County was notified the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund application was not approved.

Despite this the project remains planned and budgeted for a 2026 construction start, however progress does depend on securing external grant funding. This may affect the project schedule.

Staff are working with Planning, Building, Operations, the Accessibility Advisory Committee, and other authorities to advance design and readiness.

What comes next

Staff will report to Council in the in late spring of 2026 with:

• Final design details
• Updated cost estimate
• Funding strategy

Construction will be tendered once grant funding is secured and Council approval is received.
