Bradford West Gwillimbury is the Town of Bradford plus the old West Gwillimbury township, which takes in Bond Head, Coulson's Hill, Deerhurst, Dunkerron, Green Valley, Newton Robinson and Pinkerton. The 2021 census counted 42,880 people. Part of the Holland Marsh is inside the town, and the town shares the job of maintaining the Marsh's drainage system with King Township.

Bradford GO on the Barrie line and Highway 400 connect the town to the GTA, and the biggest construction project in the area is just getting started. The Bradford Bypass is a 16.3 km, four-lane highway between Highway 400 and Highway 404, and it will be numbered Highway 425. Major construction on the west section started in May 2026. That includes interchanges at Sideroad 10 and County Road 4 and a new freeway-to-freeway connection to Highway 400.

Big projects have layers of contractors, and a lot of the paperwork gets pushed down to the subs. WSIB requires a clearance to be in place before any construction work starts and for as long as the work lasts. You can only get one if your WSIB account is up to date, with premiums reported and paid. I track your WSIB premiums along with payroll and sub costs, so your account isn't what holds up a job.

T5018s work the same way. If you pay subs and more than half your business income comes from construction, CRA wants a slip for every sub you paid more than $500 in the year, not counting HST. If you're the sub, your GC's slip reports what they paid you, so your books need to match it.
