On Tuesday, Sept. 24, the City of Brampton and Peel Art Gallery, Museum + Archives (PAMA) came together to posthumously induct William Perkins Bull into Brampton’s Arts Walk of Fame, alongside members of the Bull family and dignified guests.

Bull was born in 1870 on a farm in Brampton. He is mostly known for writing 13 books chronicling the life, environment, religion and health of Peel county.

During the Second World War, Bull established a hospital for wounded Canadian soldiers in England.

In celebration of Bull’s work as a lawyer, financier, philanthropist and historian, the event featured a screening of a legacy video highlighting his life and career, and a posthumous induction ceremony with grandsons professor Thomas Symons and Sir George Bull.
