Population of Brampton surpasses Mississauga for the first time ever

New Statistics Canada data confirms Brampton’s population has reached 791,486, overtaking Mississauga’s 780,747. The rapid growth, fueled by immigration and high-density development, cements Brampton as Ontario’s third-largest city.
