In Your Community

This summer, we want to get to know the people who make the County of Brant so special! The County of Brant will be working on a video series titled ‘The People of Brant’ which features interesting, candid, and surprising stories from some of the people who make the County of Brant unique. The People of Brant will be a collection of short videos (approx. 1-2 minutes) that tell inspiring and real stories told by people all over the County of Brant! The People of Brant is inspired by the ‘Humans of New York’ video series which highlighted a glimpse into the lives of the people of New York.

We want to hear from the amazingly diverse people within the County! We are looking for a mixture of stories that captivate a wide range of emotions while highlighting the challenges and successes that hide behind the people we pass on the street. If you think that your story, family history, business or someone you know should be featured, follow the link below and fill out the form explaining the story you wish to share!

If you are interested in submitting a story please fill out the below form indicating your age, community, story, and why it is important and unique by July 1^st, 2019. Successful candidates will be contacted within the next couple of months via email and will be asked to meet with us to capture their story on video. The short video will be featured on the County’s social media! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PeopleOfBrant
