Following Peel Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah’s widely praised presentation at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference, Brampton City Council has set plans in motion for a national Public Safety Summit in 2026. The proposed summit, backed by Councillor Rowena Santos, builds on Brampton’s advocacy for bail reform and solutions to auto theft and repeat offenders. A formal request will be made for FCM to partner with the city on this key initiative, with early spring 2026 as a tentative timeline. Councillor Santos, newly re-elected to her sixth term on the FCM board, continues to ensure Brampton’s voice is central to shaping public safety policy across Canada.
