The City of Brampton is a community rich in diverse cultures and many faiths. The Community Safety & Well-Being Office (CSWO) has been working with the interfaith community to enhance relationships and strengthen connectedness and belonging for faith-based places across Brampton.
Faith-based places offer spiritual care and connection for residents in our community. This is an important segment of community which we highly value and respect, both for their contributions in shaping the City of Brampton, and for their continued input as we build our City. Engaging faith-based communities has been an integral way to engage Brampton residents in civic community building.
How We Can Support
CSWO is available for meetings to share information about community safety and well-being. We are a resource to help you navigate city services, connect you to appropriate channels for resolving safety issues, and empower you to take action.
Peel Situation Table Referral – For Brampton Places of Worship
The Peel Situation Table (PST) is an initiative led by Peel Regional Police that has approximately 50 community partners that work together to provide timely support to individuals at an elevated risk of harm of victimization. The goal of the table is to provide immediate access to community resources to stabilize the situation and reduce the need for involvement by police and other crisis-based responders.
The Community Safety & Well-Being Office is a community partner who can facilitate the request from our faith communities to identify if this is an acutely elevated risk and if so, provide necessary supports to assist with the submission.

Coming Together
In 2019, we hosted our first Annual Faith Leaders Meeting at Brampton City Hall, where over 100 Brampton faith leaders of different faiths gathered to share and learn from each other. Pivoting to virtual meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic, faith leaders met online and resumed in-person gatherings in 2023 with CSWO.
Throughout the year, faith leaders are engaged in various ways both online and in-person, at Brampton City Hall and at faith places across the City.
