In August 2022, City Council approved the renaming of Loafer’s Lake Recreation Centre to Paul Palleschi Recreation Centre in honour of former Wards 2 and 6 Councillor Paul Palleschi. Paul Palleschi was an integral member of the Brampton community. He served the residents of Brampton as a Regional Councillor for nearly 30 years. He was seen as a leader while serving on Council and always encouraged Brampton residents to actively participate in the city’s future, and was committed to creating a thriving and sustainable community.
