Improvement: Review Existing By-Laws and Identify Opportunities for Enhancements (required)

  • Boulevard Maintenance and Highway Obstruction By-law 163-2013
  • Open Fires By-law 91-94
  • Parklands By-law 161-83

Improvement: Increase Collaboration with PRP for Enforcement of TPA Notices (required)

Direction through the Encampment Policy and Joint Protocols for an outlined procedure from PRP to support the removal or relocation of high-priority encampment sites is needed to move this work forward and strengthen the City of Brampton’s efforts when a TPA notice is issued. This will also enhance the City’s ability to enforce its by-laws effectively.
