    ZÜM BACKGROUNDER BRAMPTON ZÜM MARKS 100th ANNIVERSARY OF PUBLIC BUS TRANSIT IN ONTARIO WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART BRT VEHICLE BUILT IN CANADA LAUNCHING ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 Phase 1 of $285-Million Project Begins Along Busy Queen Street Corridor from Downtown Brampton to York University and will Expand to Include Main Street in 2011 and Steeles Avenue in 2012 Red, White and Silver European-Fashioned Züm Bus Unparalleled in Accessibility, Low Noise Levels, Fuel Economy and 21st-Century Electronic Instrument Panels Little did the small town of Leamington, Ontario know when it introduced the first public bus in the province 100 years ago that the future of mass transportation would ever look like this. On Monday, September 20, 2010, the City of Brampton drives into the public transit history books when North America‟s only state-of-the-art Xcelsior model bus made in Canada leaves the brand new Brampton Transit - Bramalea Terminal at 4:45 a.m. Brampton Züm (pronounced zoom) is a North American Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service with European sophistication built in Canada by Winnipeg‟s New Flyer Industries with integral design assistance from Brampton Transit. Züm is a model of modern-day technical ingenuity that will keep Brampton Transit‟s initial 25 of 60 new vehicles in the $285-million project on schedule and riders up to date with real-time schedule information, like when the next bus will really arrive. Among the other exclusive features that make the European-fashioned Züm ahead of its time in North America are: The highest ranking for fuel economy in factory testing; LED headlights that draw less power; 10-inch kneel, making it the lowest step-on on the market and one of the most accessible public buses in the world; The lowest interior noise for passengers ever recorded in third-party testing; 50 per cent larger tinted skylights for better views Electronic Instrument Panels (EIP) that provide each driver with more information than ever before.

  • Naming the Bob Callahan Flower City Seniors Centre
    14.2-1 Brampton, ON July 10, 2020. To Mayor Patrick Brown and Members of Brampton City Council We are writing today to invite City Council to add the name of former City of Brampton Councillor and former Member of the Ontario Provincial Legislature, Bob Callahan, to the Flower City Seniors Centre name. Because of Bob’s distinguished service to our city as an elected official and as a community volunteer for many years, we believe that this step is valuable and warranted. (ie. Bob Callahan Flower City Senior Recreation Centre) We have reviewed the City of Brampton’s Asset Naming Policy approved March 2019 and are convinced that Bob Callahan fits the criteria. Adding Bob Callahan’s name to Flower City Seniors Centre will honour Bob and his dedicated service to our city in the same manner that adding Donald M. Gordon’s name to Chinguacousy Park honoured Don’s dedicated service to our city. Bob, Lyn, and their young family moved to the Peel Village area of Brampton in 1966. Bob had just graduated from Osgoode Hall Law School and joined a local Brampton law firm. The Callahans made their home in Brampton and raised their four sons here while participating in many of our local programs and events such as lacrosse, hockey, baseball, soccer, and Carabram, to name a few. In the mid 70s the Province of Ontario honoured Bob by naming him a Queen’s Counsel.(QC) This honour was given to lawyers in recognition of their exceptional merit and contribution to the legal profession. Now more than 50 years later Bob and Lyn still live in Brampton.

Mandatory Restrictions Related to COVID-19 The Ontario government has ordered mandatory restrictions related to COVID-19 to help protect the health and safety of Ontarians under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act. On March 31, 2020, Brampton City Council approved, and Mayor Brown signed, the Emergency By- law to help protect the health and safety of residents. These restrictions include attendance at, or use of, indoor recreational facilities. As of August 9, 2020, the City of Brampton’s “Facility Rental” website stated, “Arenas are open for use by affiliates/major user groups for figure skating and ice hockey training and modified game play.” Surprisingly, as of today’s date, after Rebel News aired its report on Mayor Brown’s apparent non-compliance, the website’s language was edited as follows: “Arenas are open for use for figure skating and ice hockey training/modified gameplay.” RE-LAW LLP 4949 Bathurst Street, Suite 206 Toronto, Ontario M2R 1Y1 T.
