Re-elect Rowena Santos to the Board of Directors for FCM and strengthen Ontario’s representation and influence on the national stage. Santos says that “we have tackled climate change, affordable housing, and social equity” and “by pooling our resources and knowledge, we have been able to amplify our impact and advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of all Canadians.”
Yesterday, Mayor Patrick Brown hosted the inaugural Tariff Task Force, bringing together industry leaders and local businesses to assess the economic impact of U.S. tariffs on Brampton’s key sectors and supply chains. “Fair trade and economic justice are not just national issues; they have real local consequences. As a member
“American and Canadian Mayors should work in a more coordinated way to fight against a US/Canada trade war,” said Brampton Councillor Rowena Santos. Earlier this week the US Conference of Mayors issued a statement reinforcing what some municipal leaders in Canada have been saying for months; trade wars hurt cities.
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown and Council introduced a Made in Canada procurement policy to support Canadian businesses against potential U.S. tariffs. A campaign website was launched to encourage other municipalities to adopt a similar approach. Brampton remains committed to strengthening the local economy and advocating for Canadian businesses.
The City of Brampton has secured over $106 million annually through the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) for the next decade, ensuring sustainable investment in its transit infrastructure. The funding will support upgrades, replacements, and modernization of Brampton Transit’s infrastructure, maintaining it in good repair. This historic investment, part of the largest public transit initiative in Canadian history, aims to enhance transit services, support housing affordability, and reduce emissions.
Brampton is advocating for a fairer funding model to address growing infrastructure needs. Councillor Rowena Santos’ motion urges the federal and provincial governments to allocate a portion of the Land Transfer Tax (LTT) and Goods and Services Tax (GST) from property transactions to municipalities. This would provide a sustainable revenue source to support essential services and accommodate rapid growth.
Regional Councillor Rowena Santos has been advocating for months to address encampments and their impact on Brampton residents, particularly along the Etobicoke Creek Trail. Premier Doug Ford’s recent response pledges new measures to support municipalities, including investments in mental health, addiction recovery, and homelessness prevention, along with enhanced legislative tools to manage encampments.
Time to reflect on what we’ve achieved and get your input on the next two years. My focus is always based on what I hear directly from you at your doorstep, on the phone, at community events, at council and through digital channels. Thank you for engaging on the issues that help build a brighter future for Brampton.
Brampton is committed to exploring practices, addressing key challenges, and identifying critical gaps in managing encampments ensuring safe spaces for all. Through proactive solutions, the city aims to support vulnerable residents and improve public spaces for all.
