Media relations

We help journalists get accurate and timely information about Peel programs, services and Peel Region Council decisions.

How we can help

Peel Region’s Media Relations team supports media by:

Co-ordinating interviews with Peel Region staff experts and senior leaders.
Providing timely responses to media inquiries.
Providing photos, videos and other digital files.
Sharing background information, data and context.
Supporting media attendance at events and announcements.
Assisting with inquiries related to Peel Region programs, services and initiatives.
