Region of Peel

The Regional Municipality of Peel encompasses the suburbs directly to the west of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Within the region are the cities of Brampton, Mississauga and the town of Caledon. Mississauga occupies the southernmost portion of the region, a sprawling city of 680,000 (the sixth largest in Canada) that reaches from Lake Ontario north to Highway 407. In the centre is Brampton, a smaller city of 415,000 which is still one of the larger municipalities in Canada. Finally, by far the largest (in area) and the most sparsely populated part of the region is Caledon, which is home to only 55,000 residents. The Region of Peel is the second-largest municipality in Ontario after Toronto, to whom it owed its existence. The regional seat is in Brampton. Owing to immigration and its transportation infrastructure (seven highways serve Peel and Toronto Pearson International Airport is mostly within its boundaries), the Region of Peel is a rapidly-growing area with a young population and an increasing profile.

The Region was incorporated in 1974, replacing the County of Peel, and was legislated to provide community services to the large and highly urbanized area. The region is reponsible for the services and infrastructure related to water delivery and wastewater treatment, waste collection and disposal, regional roads, public health, long-tern care centres, Peel Regional Police, ambulance services, some planning, public housing, paratransit, and social assistance. Other municipal functions are provided by the three lower-tier municipalities.

In recent years, the torrid growth in Mississauga has prompted Mayor Hazel McCallion and civic officials to pass a resolution calling for it to withdraw from Peel and become a single-tier city, arguing it pays far more into the region and relinquishes far too much power. Such a move would likely also encourage Brampton to become a single-tier city, while Caledon has already considered joining Dufferin County if such a move happened, due to its rural nature. Opponents of Mississauga's position (mostly politicans from Brampton and Caledon) argue that Brampton's rapid growth would eventually even the balance of power on Regional Council, and that during the 1970s through the 1990s, Mississauga was the chief beneficary of Peel's infrastructure construction projects (paid for by taxpayers all three municipalities), and that it is Brampton's turn to benefit as it is now growing much quicker than Mississauga. As well, common infrastructure, such as waste and water services, would still have to be managed at a regional level. Lastly, only the Ontario government has the authority to make this change. Mayor McCallion grants Jazz legend Oscar Peterson, a long time Mississauga resident, a civic honour. ... Categories: Stub | Ontario counties and regions ...
