What does Brampton's future look like to you?
|
Last month, we told you that we're developing a vision for Brampton's brilliant future. That we're thinking bigger about what Brampton can - and will - be in 5, 10, 25 years and beyond.
Since then, we've received hundreds of comments and ideas. People have been telling us what they love most about the city they call home. They've been honest about the things that need to change and shared ideas for what they feel would truly make Brampton a future ready city.
Have you shared your bright ideas yet? If not, there's still time. Visit brampton.ca/futureready and tell us what you think by October 31.
This is your city, and it's important for us to know what its future looks like to you. [more...]
