Regional Chair

Under Ontario's Better Regional Governance Act, 2026 (Bill 100), the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing will appoint the Regional Chair for Peel Region and 7 other upper-tier municipalities. It is expected that this will occur following the municipal election held on October 26, 2026. The Regional Chair leads Peel Region Council and serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Peel Region. 

Committees and Advisory Boards

In the weeks following the Inaugural meeting, Council members will also be appointed to committees and advisory boards. These groups focus on specific matters or concerns, review information in greater detail and make recommendations to Peel Region Council.

Starting November 2, residents interested in volunteering to serve on select Peel Region committees can apply via Peel Region’s website.
