SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL TRAILS AND WATERWAYS SINCE 1988
Brant Waterways Foundation brings the community together each year through events that celebrate and support our local natural spaces. From our Annual Summer Photo Contest, which captures the beauty of the Grand River and its trails through your lens, to our Annual Gala Fundraiser, an evening of connection and generosity, these events are key ways we engage the community while raising vital funds for projects that protect and enhance our waterways.
Join us in celebrating, connecting, and giving back—together we can ensure a vibrant and sustainable future for our trails and rivers.
Annual BWF Gala
Each year, Brant Waterways Foundation hosts our signature Gala—an evening of celebration and community in support of our local trails and waterways. Guests enjoy a night featuring live music, raffles, a silent auction, scenic views, and catered dining, all while coming together to make a meaningful impact.
The Gala is more than a night out—it is a premier community event and a vital source of funding that enables us to provide leadership and grants for projects that protect, enhance, and connect people with the Grand River and its surrounding natural spaces.
Join us for an unforgettable evening that supports a healthier, more sustainable future for our community.
