BRAMPTON, ON (July 9, 2020) – Working with all levels of government, the City of Brampton is dedicated to advocating for growth and sustainability initiatives that will benefit its residents and drive change locally.

With a focus on opportunities in health care, post-secondary education, transit and economic recovery, the City has secured substantial grants and contributions from the federal and provincial governments, pursuing additional sources of revenue to secure a stronger future for Brampton.

Federal and Provincial grant funding and contributions Since 2019, grant funding announcements and contributions from the federal and provincial governments totalling $667,195,952 have been announced for the City, an increase of 232 per cent over the previous Term of Councils since 2011.

Working with the Governments of Canada and Ontario, the City has successfully advocated and secured grants and contributions for the following notable projects since 2019:

• Riverwalk – in November 2020, it was announced that the City will receive more than $38 million towards flood mitigation in downtown Brampton, moving the City one step closer to realizing its Riverwalk project. The City’s application Downtown Brampton Flood Protection Project was approved by the Government of Canada following the successful review of the project under the terms and conditions of the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.

• Phase II of Peel Memorial – in March 2021, the provincial government announced that they would fund the expansion of William Osler Health System’s Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness into a new hospital and provide financial support for the development of a new institute of medical education in Brampton in partnership with Ryerson University.

At its July 7 meeting, Council voted in favour of a $1 million planning grant to help fund a future Brampton School of Medicine.

Sponsorship In March 2019, Brampton City Council approved a short list of City facilities for the sale of naming rights as part of adopting a citywide sponsorship strategy and an updated Sponsorship and Naming Rights Policy. The citywide sponsorship and naming rights program offers customized opportunities for businesses to connect with the community, creating enhanced experiences for residents.

With increased fiscal pressures, the City is committed to minimizing the impact on Brampton taxpayers, while providing the highest quality of life for residents. In September 2020, Brampton City Council approved a 15-year agreement between the City of Brampton and Save Max Real Estate Inc. for exterior naming rights to the Brampton Soccer Centre for $2,512,500.

Since adopting the citywide sponsorship strategy and an updated Sponsorship and Naming Rights Policy, the City has finalized sponsorship and naming rights agreements totaling $3.7 million in revenue to offset some of the increased costs associated with providing greater service to residents.

Mayor Patrick Brown said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly underlined the need for increased collaboration between all levels of government and timely investments to fill the gaps in health care, transit and economic recovery. I am proud of the work the City has done throughout this Term of Council to advocate for our residents, and thank the federal and provincial governments for their partnership. Together, we will continue to secure a stronger future for Brampton.”

David Barrick, Chief Administrative Officer, City of Brampton, said: “At the City, we are dedicated to improving the lives of Brampton residents through substantial local investments and partnerships. We look forward to continued collaboration with our federal, provincial and business partners as we work together to redefine Brampton.”
