​Roadmap to Equity in Brampton 

In December 2020, Brampton City Council directed staff to create an Equity Office at the City in alignment with the Term Council Priority: Brampton is a Mosaic.

In September 2021 the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI), and Anti-racism (AR) Office (now known as the Equity Office) was established

“We must value humanity on a daily basis”

Brampton is one of the youngest and most diverse cities in Canada – a mosaic made up of 234 cultures and115 different languages. We are committed to creating an environment of equity, inclusion, diversity and anti-racism with the government and the community.
