Since 2013, the Great War Centenary Association (GWCA) has worked to commemorate the extensive contributions of Veterans from Brantford, Brant County, and Six Nations of the Grand River Communities during the First World War.
As a charitable organization, the GWCA’s devoted volunteer base shares a common desire to shine a light on the past. Their work has included, but is certainly not limited to: the creation of a permanent and evolving record of the community’s Great War involvement, educational outreach targeted at youth, various initiatives to promote community interest and inspire remembrance efforts, and the building of partnerships at the local, national, and international level to share their knowledge.
In honouring and bringing awareness to local Veterans of the First World War, the GWCA has made a significant and enriching contribution.
