The Week started off just right with the grand opening of a new coffee shop in downtown Brampton. Steaming Cups Cafe is located at 102-6 George St S and serves a mean latte. Congratulations and all the best to the team!

The last day of the month was also the day for #BellLetsTalk. Thousands have joined the movement, recognizing how important it is to talk about mental health. I’m proud that the Region of Peel is dedicated towards breaking the stigma and encouraging the dialogue, which is crucial for a healthy community.
The start of February means the launch of Black History month, which took place at City Hall this week. The celebrations were made extra special by the students from Castlemore College, through their performance. A job well done!
Has the winter weather got you thinking about sunshine and warmer days? They’re not that far now, which means it’s time to start thinking about what your children and the rest of your family with be doing for recreation. The 2018 Spring and Summer Recreation Guide is out: http://ow.ly/3dzf30iafbB
