About The Daily Ward
Your community. Your news. Your voice.
The Daily Ward is your community-based information hub, keeping you informed about local council, community news, events and everything happening close to home and beyond.
It also publishes under the name The Ward Four Daily. It serves the County of Brant, Ontario, Canada, and is an independent local daily published by The Daily Ward Inc., Ontario — an independent media company and news aggregator, not a blog.
How we work
The Daily Ward is a community paper. We gather public information from the websites below and link every story to where it started, so you can check it yourself. We did not write the original reporting; we credit it where it appears. A person reviews every issue before it goes out.
From Issue 22, “Our Sources.”
We gather what’s happening around you and put it in one place. Council notices, road closures, minutes, police and fire updates, events, scores, live music, theatre, farm reports and local stories.
From Issue 18, “How Things Are Really Done at The Daily Ward.”
From a letter signed by Glenn Hughes, Founder and Editor, The Daily Ward Inc.:
The Daily Ward will always be free to read, because community information shouldn’t depend on what’s in your wallet. We will always credit and link the reporters and sources whose work we share.
From Issue 18, “A Letter from the Editor: Welcome to The Daily Ward Inc.”
We check every item before it runs.
How the paper came about
The Daily Ward started as a simple idea between two candidates. One went into politics. The other, Glenn Hughes, went into keeping people informed. The idea was co-created by Glenn Hughes and Ben Clement through a community council conversation. The goal: one place where people across the County of Brant can find out what's happening, with every story credited and linked to where it started.
From Issue 22, “How The Daily Ward Came About.”
Disclosure: The Daily Ward’s founder, Glenn Hughes, ran in Ward 4. Co-creator Ben Clement was elected in Ward 4.
The Daily Ward Inc.
As of today, October 30, 2026, The Daily Ward is officially The Daily Ward Inc. We are now an official media company.
