In 2010, the Brampton Arts Council "presented the City with the opportunity to use the brand name in the planning and economic development of Downtown Brampton." (Brampton Creative Economy Plan 2011-2016, Dec 7, 2010). • The City has embraced this initiative and a HACE™ Roundtable has been constructed with The City and the BAC, along with representatives from community stakeholders and various city departments. • The first Creative Economy Summit in February, 2012 was a tremendous success.

Art In The Open provides the opportunity for our artisans to sell their original hand-made products. We continue to use the space on Garden Square, working with the EDO and other various city departments all summer and during special events such as UFA, Art of Jazz, Classic Cars and Brampton Day. f PART II: 2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS % ^4 Brampton Arts councn Heritage, Arts, Culture & Entertainment Program Arts Incubator : A small visual art business mentoring & training centre A second component of HACE™ was the Arts Incubator.

Mk PART II: 2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS Brampton Arts Council Adjudication Program The Adjudication Process Program was developed to provide opportunities for non profit, incorporated performing groups to market and hone their craft. A collaborative marketing brochure was produced and 36,200 were distributed throughout the City, along with a full page ad in the Guardian to promote the season. Professional adjudicators have been hired. The program culminates into a public awards gala, the BRAVO! Awards. Next year, the BRAVO! Awards will be held on June 7, 2013, at the Rose Theatre.

    A VISION FOR A NEW BRAMPTON TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Background 4 About Us 7 The Vision 10 Pillar 1 14 Pillar 2 18 Pillar 3 21 Pillar 4 25 Pillar 5 28 Support the Vision BACKGROUND NEW BRAMPTON BACKGROUND 1 BACKGROUND Since the late 1950’s until today, Brampton has grown from a small town of 5,000 people to a city-suburb of Toronto of more than 600,000 people. The infrastructure for many of the elements required for increased population has been provided through the planning approval process. At the same time, Brampton has experienced a substantial shift away from a manufacturing/assembly industrial base to a service based economy. In addition, Brampton does not currently have the infrastructure or inventory of office space to support a higher tech commercial base. As a result the City has per capita one of the most educated young populations in the country, it cannot provide the technological and ‘white collar” jobs its population demands. Brampton is an exporter of highly qualified personnel. Brampton is now the 9th largest City in Canada, by population. However, significant city- building elements have either been slow to follow growth or are not evident at all. Health care, inter-regional roads, higher order educational facilities, public rapid transit, office employment development, have all been a party to holding back Brampton’s evolution as a sophisticated and forward-developing city. For Brampton to perform correctly in its location and economic context, these elements have to be put in place in a timely way, or else time will pass it by.
