What kind of Sister City activities do you envision?
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BEST PRACTICES: Both municipalities have a wealth of
information and case studies to share with each other in the delivery of arts, culture services for the
development of a Creative and Knowledge focussed City. The CANDO Arts Neighbourhood
project is one whereby the City of Brampton can better understand best practices related to the
development of the arts, culture, and tourism in its historic downtown and Queen Street corridor.
In addition, the City of Miami Beach has been very successful in launching new economic
development programs targeting the hospitality sector.
ALLIANCE AND NETWORKS: The expansion of respective business development, arts,
culture networks and associations. With the strong linkage between the two Mayors and Mr.
Raines' affiliations there appears to be a foundation for expanding networks and. future alliances on
specific projects.
TALENT EXCHANGE: The opportunity to exchange talent at various stages of a performer's
development (youth to accomplished professionals) is an opportunity, which could be explored in
more detail. The opportunity for young Floridians to perform in the Rose and young Bramptonians
in Miami Beach helps to grow the experiential talent base of our communities.
TOURISM/FILM: Any time aregion/city attracts visitors from abroad they are generating an
economic impact. The destination strength of south Florida is obviously much greater than
Brampton, however Brampton offers an opportunity to expand within the Film and TV production
niche offered by the Rose Theatre and the Downtown.

Flower City Identification
The Flower City logo is ayellow-stemmed rose centred on a blue rectangle with
white lined petals on each edge. A cradle connects the rose to its stem. The
interpretation of this mark captures Brampton's historic, economic, geographic,
and community character. The rose itself connects Brampton with its past as a
major grower and exporter of roses. The yellow colour characterizes Brampton
as a friendly and family place. The blooming phase of the rose symbolizes that
Brampton is blossoming from a community, economic, and volunteerism
perspective. The blue rectangle generally represents Brampton's geographic
shape and four municipal boundaries north, south, east and west. The white
lines on each side of the rose reflect Brampton's two major river systems,
featuring the Credit River valley in the west and the West Humber River valley in
the east. The cradle is a depiction of a dove, reflecting peace, harmony, and a
caring place.

A Brief History
Over 180 years ago settlers arriving in Chinguacousy Township, at what was to become
the intersection of Queen and Main Streets were confronted with thick forest, swamps
and a river that contained salmon for them to eat and water to bathe in and to drink. John
Elliott, John Scott, John Lynch and George Wright were four settlers who envisioned a
village and worked tirelessly to make their dream a reality.
Chinguacousy Township together with Albion, Caledon, Toronto and Toronto Gore
Townships were contained within the County of Peel. The County had been purchased
from the Mississauga Band of the Ojibwa First Nation. The first purchase in 1805
encompassed an area that stretched from Lake Ontario to the approximate location of
Eglinton Avenue. The second purchase in 1819 contained 648,000 acres that included
the remainder of Peel County. The first Township Councils were elected in 1821 but until
1851 Peel was considered to be part of York County and was governed by the Home
District Council that met in Toronto. Between 1851 and 1866 Peel was governed by a
council made up of members from the United Counties of York and Peel.
John Elliott started selling lots from his one hundred acre lot at the south-east intersection
of Queen and Main Streets in the late 1820s. By 1834 he had a store, a wagon maker
and several shoe makers established on his farm and started to advertise in the Canadian
Correspondent newspaper for more settlers to live in the small village that he had named
Brampton after the market town in Cumberland, England. Elliott was born and raised in
the countryside near Brampton, Cumbria.
The passing of the Municipal Corporations Act in 1849 opened the door for the
incorporation of many small villages across Ontario. Brampton received its charter and
officially became a village on January 1, 1853. Three years later the railway arrived and
brought more industry and residents to the burgeoning village. In 1866 Brampton was
elected to be the County Seat of Peel County and the Peel County Court House and Gaol
(Jail) were built on a prominent hill overlooking the Etobicoke Creek. Brampton achieved
the status of a Town in 1873 and remained a town until the Regional Municipality of Peel
was established on January 1, 1974. At this time Brampton was proclaimed a City and
was restructured to include part of Chinguacousy Township, Toronto Gore Township and
a small area of Mississauga (the former Toronto Township).
Some other highlights of Brampton's history:
• Throughout its history the Etobicoke Creek flooded regularly causing much
damage to the downtown area. The last great flood of 1948 established the
need for a flood control channel, which was opened in 1952 and diverted the
creek away from the downtown core.
6
In 1884 the mechanics of the Haggert Machine Works formed the Brampton
Mechanics Band. Known today as the City of Brampton Concert Band, it is
one of a very few Municipal Bands still in existence today, and has enjoyed
an unbroken history of 118 years.
• In 1902 the Town of Brampton purchased part of the front lawn and gardens
of "Alder Lea", the mansion of Kenneth Chisolm on Mains St. South. Sir
William Gage, owner of Gage Publishing (a publishing house specializing in
school text books), purchased the remainder and donated the land to the
Town with the condition that it be available to the citizens as a public park and
arboretum. The grateful Town named the property Gage Park and it became
Brampton's first municipal park in 1903.
• The Lorne Scots Militia Regiment was formed in 1936 from an amalgamation
of the Lorne Rifles and the Peel Dufferin Regiment. Bramptonians have
represented their Country in every uprising and war since the Mackenzie
Rebellion in 1837.
• In the 1950s part of Chinguacousy Township to the east of Brampton became
known as the home of Canada's first satellite community, Bramalea.

The City Crest -Origins and Symbols
The Brampton City Crest was created in 1974 as the official symbol of the newly-
incorporated City of Brampton. Its symbols convey the historical roots and
strengths of the various towns and townships, which were combined to form the
City of Brampton.
The City Crest is crowned in gold reminiscent of our British origins and our
relationship to Brampton, Cumbria, England. The beaver symbolizes our
Canadian heritage and the ethic of hard work.
Farming and manufacturing, the area's historical mainstays, are represented in
the Crest by the sheaf of grain and the ploughshare. The sheaf also represents
the Township of Toronto Gore, one of Brampton's founding communities. The
Grand Trunk Railway's role in establishing Brampton as an agricultural,
manufacturing and political centre is depicted by the steam engine.
The majestic pine tree was selected to represent the Township of Chinguacousy,
one of Brampton's founding communities. Chinguacousy (Land of the Tall Pines)
was a term used by indigenous settlers to describe the area.
The crests of the four founding municipalities are listed below:
• Town of Brampton
• Township of Toronto Gore
• Township of Chinquacousy
• Part of the Town of Mississauga
