City of Brampton Official Plan Focus Group

The Brampton Board of Trade is pleased to be partnering with the City of Brampton to facilitate a focus group on the city’s Official Plan, specifically for the Brampton business community. The Official Plan is a foundational document that affects all aspects of city planning, including how and where lands are zoned for various uses (such as residential/commercial), where major transit projects are planned, and where infrastructure and amenity improvements are made.

Before attending, please review the following agenda questions and think about how they affect your business: 

1. Affordability – Are your employees able to find affordable housing? Are there other affordability issues facing your employees?
2. Getting Around – How convenient is it for your employees to get to work? How do the majority of your employees get to work?
3. Goods Movement – Are you encountering issues pertaining to goods movement?
4. Child Care – Are your employees able to access quality child care?
5. Quality of Life – Is Brampton delivering the kind of quality of life that your employees are looking for or that you need to attract talent?
6. Other Issues – Is there anything currently affecting your business or employees that Brampton’s Official Plan could assist with or alleviate?
