Move over Mississauga: Brampton is now the third largest city in Ontario, according to Statistics Canada

Brampton’s population has surged to 791,486, outpacing Mississauga and securing its place as Ontario’s third-largest city. With a 15% growth since 2020, Brampton remains Canada’s fastest-growing large city, but struggles with underfunding for health care, transit, and infrastructure. City leaders, including Mayor Patrick Brown and Councillor Rowena Santos, are advocating for equitable funding and additional regional representation. Despite rapid growth, future immigration caps may temper the pace of Brampton’s population boom.
