On Tuesday, May 5, Lucy Marco, GRCOA Executive Director, attended “Celebrating Community Changemakers,” a reception hosted by the Brantford Community Foundation.
The afternoon offered a meaningful chance to recognize the outstanding organizations and individuals helping to strengthen our community.
The Grand River Council on Aging (GRCOA) sincerely thanks the City of Brantford for its generous operating grant. This investment helps us continue supporting older adults throughout the community.
This funding expands our ability to deliver programs, resources, and initiatives that support healthy aging, social connection, and age-friendly communities. With this support, GRCOA will continue advocating for older adults and offering opportunities that help people stay active, engaged, and supported as they age.
The Grand Parade 2026 is LIVE and ready for your registration.
The Grand Parade is an inspiring, intergenerational celebration that brings our community together in support of older adults, helping them stay connected, engaged, and informed.
What’s New!
The Community at Home workshop series is designed by volunteers to encourage socialization, participation, and community connections, while creating awareness about topics and issues of interest.
