County of Brant unveils Ron Eddy Way

Yesterday, County of Brant Council celebrated former Mayor Ron Eddy with the unveiling of the “Ron Eddy Way” sign at his family farm in Brant. Ron was joined by family members, who shared in recognizing his dedication to the County.

“Thank you to Ron for his service to the County of Brant,” said Mayor David Bailey. “I know firsthand the commitment that serving the community requires, and I am in awe of the time and dedication Ron has given throughout his lifetime. I am certain this has also had an impact on his family, and I want to thank them for their support.”

In October 2024, a staff report was brought forward to Council recommending that a portion of Governors Road East be dedicated as “Ron Eddy Way.” The recommendation was unanimously supported by Council.

Ron served County residents as Reeve of the Township of South Dumfries and Warden of the County of Brant for sixteen years and as a Member of Provincial Parliament.

Following amalgamation in 1998, Ron served as Mayor of the County of Brant until 2018, representing the County’s interests in various local and provincial organizations. He was instrumental in establishing the County as a single-tier municipality, bringing together the former townships into a “community of communities,” promoting growth and prosperity, and advocating for agriculture as a key local economic driver.

The dedication of “Ron Eddy Way” serves as a lasting tribute to Ron’s contributions to the County of Brant and we are proud to honour his legacy and celebrate the impact he has had on its residents, past and present.
