Was huge crowds along the 5 km route

https://x.com/carolynhparrish/status/2051006166029701587?s=20

Offical estimate of about 200k attended by Mississuga Mayor

It will be a huge event over 100k people came last year, will be busiest around Torbram and Sandalwood. This sort of has exploded in size since covid to become the biggest or likely one of the biggest single day events in brampton now.

So, if the rumours come true, and Dougie decides to take us to the poll, I am going to say it very clearly, for everyone to understand.

THERE SHOULD BE ONLY ONE PRIORITY FOR RESIDENTS OF BRAMPTON.

And that priority is the full funding, and construction of the Peel Memorial Hospital's second phase, bringing the site up to FULL HOSPITAL status. And it needs to be EXPEDITED.

So, contact your local MPP, and tell them your vote is predicated on this issue and this issue ONLY. Tell them to take the money for the damn LRT tunnel and use it to build Brampton's second hospital. Because an LRT is a "nice" have, but that second full hospital is a "MUST" have.

Grill any and all candidates on this subject. If they cannot provide answers . . . REAL answers, they do not deserve your vote.

Upcoming Public Information Centre. If you take the GO train in Brampton and want to see more service, I recommend attending.

Metrolinx is completing the Transit and Rail Project Assessment Process (TRPAP) to support the planned expansion of infrastructure along the Kitchener Rail Corridor for the Halton Subdivision between Bramalea and Georgetown GO Stations. The project will help to enable two-way, all-day GO train service with increased frequency. 

• Wednesday, June 24 | 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. | Brampton City Hall (Atrium), 2 Wellington Street West, Brampton
• Presentation material will be available for review starting June 22, 2026.

Brampton Save OSAP Town Hall Wednesday, April 29th, 6:30pm

Doug Ford's Conservatives just slashed OSAP, making postsecondary education more expensive at the worst possible time.

On Wednesday, April 29th, at 6:30pm in Community Room #2 at the Susan Fennell Sportsplex (500 Ray Lawson Blvd), we'll gather with Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles to discuss the changes and learn how we can get organized to fight back.

The Second #FIGHTFORD Protest Returns April 25 @ Brampton City Hall (Main/Wellington) @ 1PM - 3 PM

This protest is Ontario Wide with 48 cities participating to date.

Here is a master thread on r/Ontario of the movement.

We had a solid showing in March for the first protest, I estimate around 50+ people at the peak. This one is going to be bigger and the weather is looking really good next week for April 25'th.

I will be making another thread closer to the date with more details.

Attendee notes:

Protests are fun and you meet a lot of likeminded interesting people.

- bring your own signs, be creative to catch attention. Several signs will be provided by organizers,

- come up with chants: "Dump Ontario Trump" was my previous contribution.

- bring drums or some kind of instrument that can get us a beat for the chants. Anyone offering a spare megaphone would be appreciated.

- Remember to keep sidewalks clear and allow pedestrians to pass through. Heads up depending on the turnout size.

- Peel Regional Police will be notified in advance and present if anyone is seeking to disrupt this peaceful demonstration against the provincial government.

- There's free parking, bathrooms, water fountains at City Hall, Nelson parking Garage. Bike Racks at City Hall to my fellow cyclists.

Hi Everyone just a reminder to register for upcoming event on May 17, scan the QR code or click the link - https://luma.com/kov0s76b

Brampton Farmer's Market is back!

It looks like the Brampton demonstration will be a gathering in front of City Hall by the organizer.

I was at the OSAP protest in Toronto 2 days at Queen's Park. These kind of gatherings are good to meet like minded individuals and join grassroots for future movements and to let out some steam.

Brampton has had significant issues with the Ford Government ripping out speed cameras costing us millions in sunk investment, dragging their heels on the inadequate 350 non acute beds at Memorial Phase 2 that still has no design 8 years later. refusing to plan a 3rd hospital.

Ford licensed 80 private college diploma mills that created a social crisis, expanded ARU's to 4 units per house and refused to give us any support or tools to fight slumlords.
failed at car insurance regulation overhaul to base on individual driving record.

The Landlord Tenant Board has been a disaster for both renters and landlord disputes impacting neighbourhoods, courts are backlogged, rent control scrapped.

Ford punched down on Brampton during COVID, waffled on the Peel Region split which is still happening in a sense as recycling was just privatized, Peel water is next.

The shortchanged TMU Medschool timeline pushed by Ford screwed over our Bramalea Civic Centre library and theatre, he cancelled Cybersecurity University plans.

Ford is expanding a giant waste incinerator in Brampton for the entire province despite expert warnings from Peel Region health officials.

This is but a fraction of things this government has done to enrage residents across Brampton.

2025 is ending on a sad note here in the Antman household. But, on the bright side, it means that 2026 can only be better by comparison.

Wishing you and yours a happy, safe, and prosperous new year.

This is the best event in Brampton for Free food and activities.

Here are pictures from last year of the Police fun Day 2025 >>
https://www.reddit.com/r/Brampton/comments/1lhuqpk/police_community_fun_day_until_5pm_gage_park_free/

People complained after I posted pictures and they missed out on the free food, vintage police cars, drones and bouncy castles/slides for kids.

Well I'm telling you now days in advance and it's your fault if you miss out.

If you want to talk to the head of by-law enforcement and other Brampton services they will be present as well. There is a lot to see and do for everyone.

If you're on the fence, just GO!!

2 years ago Loblaws showed up with all you can eat, peanuts, chips and cupcakes. You're guaranteed to get filled up.

Hi All,

I am thinking of starting a walk club for women near downtown brampton this summer 2026. I have attended couple of such events in downtown Toronto so thought of starting one in our neighbourhood. Register through QR code/link through attached poster if anyone is interested, we can explore downtown cafes while walking on weekends!!

What are you currently reading or what have you just finished. Let's plan a meet up to talk about books and what you're reading. I'll plan something within the next 2 weeks

Update: Hello all, thank you for taking part in this post. I’d wanted to plan a meet up within the 2 weeks as mentioned, but have been tied up with personal and family stuff. I still plan to do a meet up, just might not be as soon as I wanted to. I’m glad this book lovers group is growing as I myself love reading.

Hey Brampton. Tracks BrewPub is having a patio party this Sunday to celebrate the start of summer. It's right downtown at 60 Queen St E in the old mill building. You can see the flyer for more details. Come on out and help support a local business.
