Twenty-two women and children have died in Brampton as a result of domestic and gender-based violence in the past 10 years.

Brampton council voted unanimously at its Nov. 13 committee of council meeting to memorialize the victims this year with a banner at city hall similar to the banner memorializing the city’s lost military servicemen and women currently on display.

The banner will also recognize thousands of missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada, but only local victims of domestic and gender-based violence will be named individually.

This year’s banner will include victims who died between August 2009 and November 2019. However, wards 1 and 5 Coun. Rowena Santos — who spearheaded the initiative — said more could be added next year, including the names of Jonathan Bastidas, 12, and Nicolas Bastidas, 9.

The two boys’ 52-year-old father was charged with two counts of first-degree murder after the brothers were found dead in their home on Nov. 6. Those charges have not been tested in court.

“Just as recently as last week, we could be facing another two names of children on this list that we would probably acknowledge next year,” Santos said.

“I think this is a great initiative,” added Mayor Patrick Brown. “This idea of the banner was originally raised when we had all the stakeholder groups that work in the space say that this would be a beautiful initiative for the city ... I think it will help drive attention to the elimination of violence against women.”

Below is the list of names and ages of the women and children to be included on the banner.

- Fatima Lima, 59

- Petty Mahabir-Chaitrum, 43
