BRAMPTON, ON (November 15, 2019) – The City of Brampton is calling all residents to have their say on plans for Brampton’s last undeveloped area: Heritage Heights.



Making up 1/16 of Brampton’s total area, Heritage Heights is located in northwest Brampton, stretching from Mayfield Road to the Credit River valley, and from Winston Churchill Boulevard to Mississauga Road. It was highlighted in the Brampton 2040 Vision as the proposed location for a new town centre – a complete, full-service, mixed-use place with work and housing options. It is also proposed as a location for a third healthcare facility in Brampton.



To help develop the future of Heritage Heights, the City is seeking valuable input from the people of Brampton across four days in November. Residents are encouraged to attend the visioning session at Cassie Campbell Community Centre from November 26 to 29 at any time from 9 am to 8 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to view displays, learn about the planning process, ask questions of City staff, and share their ideas for Heritage Heights.



There are a few periods of particular interest:

A special kick-off presentation will take place on November 26 from 6 to 8 pm

Progress update presentations will occur on November 28 and 29 from 6 to 8 pm

Public design sessions will take place on November 26, 28 and 29 from 2 to 4 pm
