Proclamations are ceremonial documents issued and signed by the Mayor to recognize the value and importance of a person, an event, a campaign, or an organization for a certain day, week or month.

Proclamations may be issued for:
- Public awareness campaigns

- Special honours (on the recommendation of the Mayor)
Proclamations will not be issued for:
- Matters of political controversy, ideological or religious beliefs or individual conviction
- Events or organizations with no direct relationship to the City of Brampton
- Campaigns or events contrary to City policies or bylaws
- National, Independence or Republic Days (please see Flag Raisings for appropriate recognition)
- Campaigns intended for profit-making purposes
Proclamations do not constitute a personal or civic endorsement and are issued at the discretion of the City of Brampton.
