As the sun sets on my unforgettable summer internship with Councillor Rowena Santos, I find myself reflecting on the incredible experiences I’ve had while working on two remarkable events: the Teramoto Park Cleanup and the End of Summer Youth Connect. These events not only allowed me to grow as an individual but also provided a platform for our community’s youth to make a meaningful impact.

Brampton is responding to more rainfall and an unexpected acceleration in the grass growth rate. Grass is growing faster, causing overgrowth and requiring special attention from the city’s grass maintenance services.
