A group of Brampton residents and community leaders who say they want to help shape the city’s future have organized a town-hall meeting next week to discuss important issues affecting the municipality.

The meeting is being put on by New Brampton, a citizens group that has some names familiar to anyone who has paid attention to local business and politics.

The event takes place Jan. 16 inside the Brampton City Hall Conservatory from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Participants will get a chance to learn more about New Brampton and its vision, network with the group’s directors and ask them questions directly.
