r/Brampton

For those of you who offered support, genuine thanks.

To almost everyone else, you really need to brush up on tenant rights.

And to a certain troll: GFYS.

I walk around the neighborhood and notice so many houses have the front tree cut down. I know sometimes its cut down due to rot or disease. But shouldnt the trees have to be replaced? Lack of trees makes the neighborhood looks less nice but also helps environmentally.

I was asked this question as a prompt recently and for some reason the first thing that came to mind was that Patty from Mckays Pizza. No idea why my mouth blurted out Patty as a reply but help me out please🤗 thanks!

And I dont mean drive to markham or missisauga, in brampton proper? I used to be a regular at 9 queen chinese but I feel like the quality took a massive nose dive this year, I tried green bites and it was... ok. Is there no actual good option? I like hakka style as a compromise, but none of them do pork dishes

I visited Nath Meat Shop - Sandalwood today and was honestly mortified by what I witnessed regarding food handling.

The same pair of gloves were used to cut and handle raw chicken, answer the store phone, and cash out a customer. The gloves were never changed. After handling the phone, the employee went right back to handling the raw chicken with the exact same gloves. She also picked up the phone again with those gloves and handed it to another employee in the kitchen before continuing to prepare the chicken.

I also noticed that the employee had very long hair that was not properly secured, and it appeared that it could potentially come into contact with the food preparation surface.

I understand that gloves are meant to protect against contamination, but using the same gloves to handle raw chicken, phones, and money without changing them is extremely concerning from a food safety perspective.

I hope management takes this seriously and reinforces proper food handling, glove changing, hand washing, and hair restraint practices. I left feeling very uncomfortable about what I had witnessed.

I am, for the first time, delivering pamphlets for a political candidate. My support is predicated on what I will call "common cause". We both oppose the incumbent because we disagree on a fundamental level with how that person operates.

What I am finding so interesting is this . . . when people choose to ask questions, or inquire as to why this candidate deserves their vote, I point them to what the candidate has said. and then I ask them what the incumbent has done to deserve their vote. This usually leads to a discussion on the "State of the City", at which so many are shocked to be told the financial realities of the last 8 years.

Sure, some will have the usual hobby horses, rooming houses, cars with windows blacked out, etc. But, when you give them real pocketbook type information, the look of genuine shock/disbelief that washes over their faces is just a little bit frightening.

People have truly not been paying attention. Lets hope enough of them wake up in the next three weeks.

Just wondering if this is important to others? I live in wards 7 & 8. Some of our candidates do not live in either of these wards. When talking to others, neighbours seem divided. Some people care, others don't.

Personally, I think it's important to live in the wards you represent. You can have first hand knowledge of how any changes may impact your area, as well as what is or isn't important to your wards.

What do you think? Does this impact how you are voting?

It would seem that if you don’t like something in the city, you put your name on a ballot without ANY credibility, experience, knowledge or even understanding of the issues! Complain, make promises and yet do not offer solutions… a sad reality today!

I have to take 2 buses to commute every morning and the first one is almost always guaranteed to be 5-10 minutes late and can cause me to miss my connecting bus. It’s so frustrating how Google maps sometimes reports that a bus is coming late and sometimes never does. Is there a way to report that a bus hasn’t arrived yet to at least help people after me?

What was the mayor of Brampton’s objection to the separation of Peel into Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon? A few years ago, the Ford government was looking to split Peel into 3 separate municipalities. Mississauga was on board but Brampton wasn’t. I never heard the mayor of Brampton give a clear explanation of his opposition. I don’t live in the region so maybe it was clearly enunciated but I never heard that in the news broadcasts I watched. I gather it may have something to do with cost and Brampton now wanting to pay for its own police force and other services. However, Brampton isn’t exactly small and has a population of over 656 000. Much smaller cities (ex.: Halifax, Charlottetown, Saint John, Moncton, Regina, Saskatoon, Sudbury and Thunder Bay) seem to deal with these issues just fine. What was the reason/argument against splitting?

Cigarette vending machines JUST INSIDE the doors of bars.

Non smoking sections.

Paved play areas with climbing bars.

Standalone arcade machines which cost a quarter.

Gum and candy for 5 to 10 cents a pack.

Lawn Darts.

What other fun things do you remember that would never fly in Brampton in 2026?

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some opinions on a neighbour situation.

One of my neighbours plays pretty loud music out of his garage almost every evening. Usually it starts sometime around 7–9 PM and goes until 11 PM or later. I’ve asked him a couple of times in the past if he could turn it down. He does, but not by much, and I can still hear it pretty clearly inside my house.

I’ve called 211 in the past but every time they show up, it’s well past after he’s already turned the music off.

I often work or study in the evenings, so its really hard to focus. I also have to be up early for work, and there have been plenty of nights where I’m trying to fall asleep while the music is still going. I’ve tried using headphones, white noise, etc., but it’s loud enough that I can still hear it.

I don’t want to be the neighbour who complains about someone having people over or enjoying their evenings. I honestly don’t care if he plays music—I just wish it wasn’t loud enough that I can hear it inside my house for several hours at a time.

My question is whether there are any other avenues we could pursue (ideally anonymously)?

Why smelling weird right after entering the city perimeters. Just got food poisoning and haven't eaten anything from here.
