About Brampton

Brampton is located in Southern Ontario and is the third-largest city in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada and the seat of Peel Region. As of the 2006 census, Brampton’s population stood at 433,806, making it the 11th largest city in Canada. Brampton’s population is expected to reach about 600,000 by 2030. It is also one of Canada’s fastest growing municipalities with an average annual growth rate (2001–2006) of 6.6%. With a median age at 33.7 it is also the youngest community in the GTA. Brampton celebrated its sesquicentennial anniversary in 2003, marking 150 years since its incorporation as a village in 1853, taking its name from the rural town of Brampton, Cumbria, England. Visible minorities combined now form a large portion of the population.

Brampton was once known as The Flowertown of Canada, a title it earned due to the city’s large greenhouse industry, which included Dale’s Flowers, a company that won many international rose awards for nearly half a century. Today, its major economic sectors include Advanced Manufacturing, Retail Administration and Logistics, ICT, Food and Beverage, Life Sciences and Business Services. National headquarters of companies such as Loblaw Companies, HBC/Zellers, Bacardi, Brita and Clorox are located within the city.

The city is home to Canadian Forces Army Reserve unit The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment).

Neighbouring Bramalea

Created as an innovative “new town”, Bramalea was developed as a separate community, approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Toronto.

Located in the former Chinguacousy Township, it was Canada’s first satellite community developed by one of the country’s largest real estate developers, Bramalea Limited, formerly known as Brampton Leasing. The name “Bramalea” was created by the farmer William Sheard, who integrated the BRAM from Brampton, MAL from Malton (a neighbouring region), and the LEA, an old British word meaning meadow or grassland. He sold the land to Brampton Leasing developers and built one of Bramalea’s first houses on Dixie Road across from the former headquarters of Nortel.

Education

Brampton’s only public higher education institution is Sheridan College, which also has a campus in Oakville. Founded in 1967, it is known for its animation and illustration courses, music theatre performance program, and craft and design program. Sheridan has the second largest school of Art and Design in North America.

Public schools are managed by the Peel District School Board. Local high schools include Cardinal Leger, Bramalea, Brampton Centennial, Central Peel, Chinguacousy, Fletcher’s Meadow, Harold M. Brathwaite, Heart Lake, Holy Name of Mary, North Park, North Peel, Notre Dame, Sandalwood Heights, St. Augustine, St. Edmund Campion, St. Marguerite d’Youville, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Turner Fenton (Canada’s only campus-based high school).

Transportation

Public transit network

Local transit is provided by Brampton Transit, with connections to other systems such as Mississauga Transit, York Region Transit, and Toronto Transit Commission. Brampton is currently planning a new Bus Rapid Transit system, called Acceleride along Main/Hurontario and Queen Streets, which would form the backbone to its bus network. Acceleride received funding from the provincial government in 2006 to begin implementation of this system. The fare is $3.00 for single adult transfer which is valid for 2 hours. There is GO Bus service to York University and subway stations at Yorkdale Mall and York Mills in Toronto.

Railways

Both Canadian National Railways and the Orangeville-Brampton Railway short line (formerly part of the Canadian Pacific Railway line) run through the city, CN’s Intermodal Yards are located east of Airport Road between Steeles and the former Highway 7/Queen Street East. The CN Track from Toronto’s Union Station, is the Georgetown GO Transit Rail Corridor providing commuter rail and bus services to and from Toronto with rail station stops at Bramalea, Downtown Brampton, and Mount Pleasant. VIA Rail connects through Brampton as part of the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor.

Airports

Canada’s busiest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), is located near Brampton, in Mississauga. For general aviation the city is served by the privately-owned Brampton Airport (CNC3), located to the north of the city in neighbouring Caledon.

Road network

Brampton is served by several major transportation routes: Highway 401 from Toronto is a short distance south in Mississauga, and can be reached by Highway 410, which runs north-south through the middle of the city. Highway 407 runs along the southern portion of the city, just north of the boundary with Mississauga. Steeles Avenue, which runs north of the 407, is another thoroughfare from Toronto.
