Hi - I have lived in Regina for over 30 years. Welcome to the boards. There are loads of people moving to Ontario so your experiences should prove useful to them.

Hi Pollard Welcome. So what is it like in Brantford? :)

Re: New Member
 

Thanks for the warm welcomes. We have been here now for a few years, belong to a few expat clubs and all that. Brantford is just outside Toronto, and a short drive from Hamilton.

The population is not all that big, but it's a nice place to live, housing is reasonable, and the place has a lot of history to it. It's also the home of Alexander G Bell. ( The phone inventor )

There was a another famous Canadian from Brantford, wasn't there ? What are the streets and sports arena called ?

Re: New Member
 

....mmmmm.......! ;)

Re: New Member
 

The one and only Wayne Gretsky hails from Brantford, but I'm sure you all knew that!!

Re: New Member
 

Who is Wayne Gretsky :confused:

Re: New Member
 

Quite a famous hockey player who was born and raised in Brantford, Ontario!

Re: New Member
 

Likely the same fellow as Wayne Gretzky. Curiously, he was a hero to Canadian men while Canadian women thought him effeminate. He's an American now.

Re: New Member
 

Wayne Gretzky was NOT born in Brampton! I'm sure you meant Brantford. He went to the states to play hockey but one of the main reasons for moving there was because he married Janet Jones, an American actress.

Re: New Member
 

Sorry about that! Yes, I did mean Brantford, Onario - pre-occupied with my little girl have a hissy fit!

Re: New Member
 

We have relatives living in Brantford and are visiting in July. They live not far from the Wayne Gretzky Parkway.

When did you decide to leave Emmerdale?

Re: New Member
 

Never heard that one before, but it's funny :-) If you are going to be around in July, drop us a pm or something. That area you mentioned, has all the shops and malls

Welcome pollard, i found this site only recently and wished i'd seen it ages ago, i've been to Hamilton which reminds me of Middlesborough with its industry,but never went to brantford and wish we had...........
Brantford and London could be an area we'd choose to settle what town in the UK compares to Brantford...........
