Brantford Home Builders’ Association – BHBA

The BHBA Builds Brantford

I believe in supporting a diverse range of community initiatives – the many facets of what makes life great here in Brantford. That’s why I am proud to represent Empire Communities as their Member Representative with the Brantford Homebuilders’ Association – The BHBA.

I have served as Past-President of the BHBA for their 2012 term. I am also a long-time Member of the Association’s Board of Directors.

As a Director, I’m proud to have the opportunity to contribute to the governance of this important local not-for-profit trade association. They're comprised of Member businesses and organizations from our area. The BHBA gives voice to issues relevant to the home building industry here in Brantford. Home building is an essential driver of our community’s economy.

Home builders such as Empire Communities, their employees and the many supporting tradespeople, supplier businesses and other related local firms make it possible for families to live in well-built and comfortable homes. Builders create a foundation for our economy, and a natural avenue for future growth. New neighbourhoods, new business centres and new opportunities are created through their efforts.

Government dialogue, local initiatives

The Brantford Homebuilders' Association maintains a constant, productive dialogue with legislators and decision-makers at every level to inform and educate building-sector regulators.

For over 60 years, the BHBA has been a strong advocate for the home building and renovation industry here in Brantford and Brant County. Members collaborate with our community to enhance quality of life, to build well-crafted housing and to promote economic prosperity.

This association is also a means through which local home builders, renovators, suppliers and professionals offer their personal time and resources to our community. I'm proud of their dedicated support for the St. Joseph’s Lifecare Foundation, the Stedman Community Hospice, and local education initiatives.

The BHBA is connected across the province and across Canada
