WE’RE MOVING in 2026…
Hybrid meetings will be held at Grace United Church in Caledonia, Ontario starting March 21, 2026.
These pictures and maps are from the Grance United Church Website.
The Best Western in Brantford has been home to Grand River Branch for many years but the needs of our Branch have changed. The Fellowship Hall at Grace United Church is the right size, centrally located, and at the right price. Also, they have the audio video equipment we need on site so this will facilitate our hybrid meetings.
More details will be coming as plans are finalized for the Grand River Branch Annual Meeting in March!
