Brant joined the WCCD Canadian and Global Network of over 100 cities three years ago and has been awarded the platinum certification each year.
BRANT - The highest level of certification from the World Council on City Data (WCCD) has been awarded to the County of Brant.
Brant joined the WCCD Canadian and Global Network of over 100 cities three years ago as part of the Data for Canadian Cities Pilot Project and has received the award all three years for their excellence in driving forward strategic priorities such as infrastructure investment for the community.
A few of Brant's achievements over this project's tenure include an annual decrease in crimes against property every year since 2018, an annual increase in the percentage of persons in full-time employment, as well as leading the WCCD's global network with 250 kilometres of bicycle paths and lanes per 100,000 population.
The Mayor of Brant County, David Bailey, said the county is honoured to receive the award.
"This tool allows the County to assess and build a more livable, resilient, and vibrant community. We are proud to join a distinct list of world cities who have achieved this certification which supports sound decision making."
WCCD was founded in 2014 and helps communities of all sizes worldwide embrace ISO standardized, independently verified and globally comparable city data to become more sustainable, resilient, prosperous, inclusive, and smart.
