Centre for Innovation

​​​​​​​​​​​The Centre for Innovation (CFI) is envisioned to be a landmark development in the heart of downtown Brampton that will serve as a hub for education, entrepreneurship and economic growth. Just steps from the Brampton Innovation District Transit Hub, the CFI will bring together a new central library, collaborative workspaces and digital innovation labs to support Brampton’s growing innovation economy. As a cornerstone of the Innovation District, the CFI will help attract investment, develop talent and position local businesses for success.

We thank you for your support as we continue to progress on this transformative project.
