County of Brant is inviting residents to get out and get moving this February with Winter Active. This annual month-long celebration features free and low-cost activities and events taking place throughout the County of Brant.
“We are excited to once again invite the community to join us for all that we have planned for Winter Active,” said Sarah Dredge, Manager of Recreation Services for the County of Brant. “This time of year can be challenging to get outdoors, and it often leads to reduced activity indoors. Through Winter Active, we encourage residents of all ages to get out into the community and take part in the many activities we have scheduled.”
Activities include Free Public Skates, Kinderplay, Dodgeball, Pop-ups in the Park, a Forest Hike, and so much more. The annual Rec Expo is returning on February 8 at the Brant Sports Complex and will provide an opportunity for residents to meet with local sports clubs and other organizations.
The County of Brant Public Library will be offering a variety of free programs, and community partners such as Paris Wado Kai Karate will host a free Karate Trial (registration required), while the Paris Curling Club is holding a free open house for Curling Day in Canada. The Paris Figure Skating Club is also sponsoring a Free Public Skate at the Brant Sports Complex.
Free Sponsored Family Day activities will also be taking place on Monday, February 17 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm; including Kinderplay at the Syl Apps Community Centre and Public Skates at all community centres, thank you to our Family Day sponsor Riverside Heating and Air Conditioning Inc.
Several Winter Active Contests will also be taking place. The popular Winter Active Photo Contests are returning with categories including Backyard Ice Rink, Winter Active in Brant, and Family Day Photos. New for 2025 is a Colouring Contest! Contests are open to County of Brant residents. Visit the Winter Active website to learn more and don’t miss your chance to enter and win some great prizes!
“Thank you to our community and community partners for joining us in this year’s Winter Active celebration,” said Dredge. “Whether you are a longtime resident or a newcomer to the community, we encourage you to explore the many recreation and leisure activities Brant has to offer.”
