County of Brant to Move Forward with New BrantBrantford Paramedic Services Headquarters

County of Brant, ON – The County of Brant is pleased to announce that plans are underway for the development of a new Brant-Brantford Paramedic Services Headquarters. The new headquarters will be located on Savannah Oaks Drive in Brantford, a site secured through long-term lease agreements with GrandBridge Energy Inc and its affiliate company GrandBridge Solutions Inc.

"This is a critical investment in our emergency services," said Brant-Brantford Paramedic Services Chief, Russell King. "By expanding and modernizing our paramedic headquarters, we are ensuring that Paramedic Services has the resources and infrastructure it needs to continue providing excellent care to the Brant-Brantford community.“

The facility, located near the border of the City of Brantford and the County of Brant, will include a retrofit of an existing 27,448 sq ft vacant office space and construction of a new 28,524 sq. ft. garage. Working with GrandBridge Energy will help ensure that energy efficiency is considered in the design of the renovations and the new garage construction.

“GrandBridge Energy is proud to partner with the County of Brant to construct a new headquarters for

Brant-Brantford Paramedic Services adjacent to our existing Brantford facility As an essential service provider, we share the County of Brant’s commitment to investing in critical infrastructure to support the communities we serve,” said Sarah Hughes, President & CEO of GrandBridge Energy

This essential project will provide much-needed space for the administration, training, and operational functions of Paramedic Services. The facility will consolidate the service’s garage, community paramedicine, and administrative operations under one roof, ensuring more efficient service delivery and improved communication amongst staff

The new headquarters is part of a broader strategic initiative to enhance emergency preparedness and response in the County and City. The projected $2.5 million approximate annual cost for the headquarters and garage facilities will be shared among the Province of Ontario, the County of Brant and the City of Brantford. Construction is expected to begin soon, with the administration office set to be completed by mid 2025 and the new garage in 2026.
