BRAMPTON, ON (Apr. 14, 2022) – Today, the Region of Peel is releasing its key election priorities, highlighting how Ontario’s next government can contribute to the ongoing success of Peel by supporting its thriving communities and businesses.
Peel remains a destination of choice for those looking to raise a family or start a business.

- Focus on affordable housing solutions
- Enhance the transportation network
- Safeguard quality of life for seniors
- Prioritize investment in mental health and addiction services
- Continue support for pandemic response
- Support essential services for Peel residents and businesses
