Brampton in the news
Brampton Governance Criticised for lack of Ethnic Diversity
If there is critism of this addition then lets discuss it here. This is notable and an important subject. That the corruption of Brampton by individuals leads to new stories such as these is notable. We may not be in a possition to publish opinions and POV about how corrupt people and systems are, but the notable events and statements that do get in the mainstream medea needs to be documented so that Wiki does not become a Soapboax of the establishment to use as more of its propaganda for free.

Population Mistake
"Population growth in Brampton
* 1858: 50 * 1922: 8,000 (according to Celebrating 150 Years) * 1949: 6,000 (according to Brampton: An Illustrated History) * 1959: 14,500 * 1963: 26,363 * 1967: 37,701 * 1978: 95,000 * 1983: 165,000 * 1985: 180,000 * 2002: 351,646 * 2005: 415,000 * 2031: 123,344,334,222,000 (est.)"
I very highly doubt that brampton will have 123,344,334,222,000 people in 25 years.
Could we get the right date of incorporation here? -- Zoe
- Yes. The City of Brampton has three "birthdates" - in 1973, it had the Centennial celebrations (the town incorporation in 1873) and in 2003, there was the sesqicentennial celebration, marking the 1953 incorporation as a village. Of course, 1974, the formation of the city, was also marked in 1999 for the 25th anniversary. The city really should pick one date and stick with it to mark. --Spmarshall42 00:55, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Arts Person of the Year
Does City of Brampton Arts Person of the Year refer to this Brampton or a different one in the world? Kingturtle 23:22 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
- This one. --Jay(Reply) 00:05, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- BTW I moved (and updated) this list to Brampton Arts Council/Person of the Year. -- Robocoder 18:28, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Population accuracy?
Note the sign saying welcome to Brampton says the population is 386,000 and that was changed in 2004. However the mayor said in Brampton guradian (april,29th,2005) that the population of brampton is 412,000. Has brampton's population jumped by 100,000 since 1999????
- Bet your bottom dollar it has. That's estimated, based on new homes and other records. Also, there's hundreds of homes in Brampton that are, shall we put it, "over capacity", and would likely boost the numbers a thousand higher. But such stats have never included people illegally in the country, or who deny existance in the census. -- user:zanimum
Brampton was such a only 220,000 people in 1995 i remember. Population climbing by 180,000 in ten years is insane. I think we should add two things about this page. One the growth and the demographics of the city which i very interested in knowing. Brampton is a growing city with a population confirmed over 400,000. Wow this city has grown alot. It all started in 1999 when the North of Brampton got developed a lot!!
to be merged (from "Bramalea")
Bramalea is the location of an automobile factory in Ontario, Canada, owned by DaimlerChrysler and originally developed by Renault for the manufacture of its large Premier sedan.
Schools in Brampton
Someone entered Lincoln Alexander as a school that lies in Brampton, however it's not, and actually lies in Malton (Mississauga). Also, a lot of the Catholic high schools were left out of the list.
Traffic
Some of the discussion of the traffic sounds more like the opinion of a frustrated commuter than an unbiased expert. Great Green Arkelseizure 21:30, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- Can you find info from one? -- Zanimum 23:29, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
| Mayor | Susan Fennell |

| Wards 1 + 5 Regional Councillor |
Elaine Moore Grant Gibson |
| Wards 2 + 6 Regional Councillor |
Paul Palleschi John Hutton |

New Info Box
- As per a request by user:Phil-hong I made this page a new, more updated looking info box. Because of the "interesting" format of Brampton's City Council, I'm a little torn on how to list the Councillors - Right now I have them all lumped together in two rows of cells "Regional" and "City" with their wards listed in brackets after their names (see current article page for example). Alternatively, each ward grouping could have their own cell row - like in the example below. Let me know which one you think looks better and we can either leave it, or switch it. Thanks pm_shef 23:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- Like I said about the Infobox made for Vaughan, I am terribly impressed by your work. It certainly looks a lot better than the older tables. Given the EXTREMELY confusing ward system in Brampton, I think your idea in organising the wards like that is the best, because otherwise we'll have clutter. Phil-hong 20:56, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Unanimous vote
How long has this fact tag been up? How come no one has a citation? Shouldn't I remove the statement now? If not why not? Something like that needs a citation. Thanks. Wjhonson 00:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- It's been there since you put it there a few days ago. I suspect that the editor who added that information (WikiWoo) has been too busy with other issues to find a citation that quickly, especially since this may have been his least contentious contribution. --Gary Will 19:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
