About the Awards

This one-of-a-kind award has been specially designed and created by two local artists: Robert Hall Originals and Elegance in Glass. The award is made of pewter, glass and granite, with the elements and colours chosen in representation of the communities of Brantford, the County of Brant, Six Nations and New Credit. The three arching prongs symbolize the unity of our communities and the blue glass represents the Grand River, which connects us all as neighbours; both geographically and historically.
