The event beings at 6 pm with a celebratory vehicle procession from the former premier’s home in downtown Brampton, south of Gage Park and along Main Street North, to the Rose Theatre. The formal Key presentation will be at the Rose, complete with an Indigenous drumming ceremony by the eel Aboriginal Network (PAN) and live entertainment by the Jazz Mechanics Trio to be followed by a reception in the Rose lobby. The Key to the City is a symbolic honour that the City of Brampton bestows upon a highly valued member of the community, or a celebrated or digni- fied guest of the City, who has made an impact on the lives of Bramptonians. It is the City of Brampton’s most prestigious award and is presented at the discretion of the Mayor. Davis grew up in Brampton and served as Minister of Education from 1962 to 1971, and Premier of On- tario from 1971 to 1985. As Premier, his provincial government expanded the provisions of the Ontario Human Rights Code and contributed to the finaliza- tion of the 1982 Constitution Act.
