Reinventing Brantford

Students, alumni and residents alike will enjoy this look inside the town of Brantford and the details of how Wilfrid Laurier University rejuvenated a town that was down on its luck. Author Leo Groarke will be reading and signing copies of his book, Reinventing Brantford, at the Waterloo campus of Wilfrid Laurier University.

Leo Groarke revists the grandeur of Brantford’s past, explores its economic collapse and tells the story of the arrival of Wilfrid Laurier University, its early struggles, its commitment to historic restoration and its ultimate success as a catalyst for urban renewal.
