Brantford Expositor

“Founded in 1852, The Brantford Expositor is among Ontario’s oldest daily newspapers. Its late 19th-century building, showcasing classic architectural styles, became a prominent fixture in the city. Over time, it grew into a symbol of local journalism’s influence, serving as a center for news and civic dialogue.”
