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.

  • A Vision for a New Brampton Table of Contents
    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.
