Residents in the Downtown Brampton area and along the Etobicoke Trail Creek have seen a rise in crime, drugs, mental health issues and encampments in the area. We’re taking the issue very seriously and convening a community safety meeting with the goal of creating an action plan and follow-up.
The meeting on Thursday Oct 12 is a neighbourhood specific meeting and attendance is limited. Please email my office to request attendance (rowena.santos@brampton.ca)
