An Open Letter from Brampton Gujarati Community Leaders
We, the undersigned community leaders, proudly support Patrick Brown for re-election as Mayor of Brampton.
Under Mayor Brown’s leadership, Brampton has attracted investment, secured major infrastructure funding and advanced projects that will shape our city for generations.
Companies such as MDA Space, lululemon and Pet Valu have chosen Brampton for significant investments, bringing jobs and new economic opportunities to our city.
Mayor Brown has positioned Brampton as a competitive, business-friendly destination for investment and growth.
After years of advocacy, Brampton’s second hospital is moving forward, bringing a new emergency department, inpatient care and expanded health-care services.
Brampton is also home to Toronto Metropolitan University’s new medical school—the first new medical school established in Ontario in more than a century.
Mayor Brown continues to champion the Hazel McCallion LRT extension into downtown Brampton, including a tunnelled section bringing rapid transit into the heart of our city.
The new 175,000-square-foot Embleton Community Centre is moving forward with $64 million in federal funding secured, bringing pools, fitness facilities, childcare, sports fields and community spaces to a growing part of Brampton.
Major public safety investments are also underway, including the new 23 Division in north Brampton—the first new police divisional facility built in Peel in 40 years.
Mayor Brown has also supported celebrations that bring Brampton together, including the City sponsoring the first Navratri celebration, International Day of Yoga activities, the Brampton KiteFest at Greenbriar Park South and rapidly expanding cricket infrastructure with new fields, facilities and even more on the way.
A stronger economy. A second hospital. Ontario’s first new medical school in more than a century. Better rapid transit. New recreation facilities. Greater investment in public safety.
Patrick Brown has demonstrated a strong record of advocating for Brampton and delivering the investment our growing city needs.
We, the undersigned from Brampton’s Gujarati community, proudly endorse Patrick Brown for re-election as Mayor of Brampton in 2026.
