Dear Residents
The pandemic is not over. We moved into Stage 3 of reopening as we were doing well to contain the virus. Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise again and we want to remind our residents that we have to continue following all safety measures – maintain social distancing, wear masks at places where distancing is a challenge, wash hands often, if you are not feeling well, get tested.
We continue to advocate for increased support from our higher levels of government for additional facilities and financial resources. Working with provincial partners and Peel Public Health, the City of Brampton guided residents and businesses through an initial set of closures and a gradual reopening. Collaboration with community partners saw test, trace, isolate and treat in action. One of Ontario’s first COVID-19 Assessment Centres was at South Fletcher’s Sportsplex, with additional testing also available at Peel Memorial. Peel Public Health continues to contact trace and investigate outbreaks, provide insight into data and evidence, and work with partners and businesses to implement precautions.
With regards to other matters, soon we will begin our 2021 Budget discussions and we encourage our residents to get involved and be part of the process. Stay tuned on how you can participate and provide your feedback.
Our community is strong and steadfast and Council is committed to working through these tough times with you.
Thank you for your support and stay safe.
Mayor Patrick Brown & Brampton City Council

Dear Residents
The City’s corporate facilities are now open for appointment-based services, and it is important to remember that COVID-19 pandemic is not over as yet. We are taking all safety precautions to ensure that our residents and staff stay safe and I ask everyone to continue to maintain all safety protocols. Please ensure you make an appointment if you need to visit City Hall or one of our facilities. It can be done through the City's website. A number of our services are available online as well. If you have questions please call 311 and our staff would be happy to assist you.
Rest assured, we will continue to re-assess the situation and implement all safety measures as required.
Some major initiatives continue to move forward to build a City of Opportunities. These include the approval of the Downtown Brampton Flood Mitigation EA; Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan; public sessions for Riverwalk Urban Design Master Plan; visioning an Urban Community Hub around Shoppers World to foster Transit-Oriented Communities in Brampton; and a new partnership with the Founder Institute to strengthen supports for entrepreneurs and businesses. Unlocking the potential of Downtown and Uptown Brampton are key priorities for Council and a major economic benefit to our city, residents and businesses. We are excited for the possibilities and look forward to working with our citizens on making Brampton the best place to live, work and play.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
David Barrick
Chief Administrative Officer
