On April 14, at Brampton City Hall, Mayor Patrick Brown was joined by Caledon Mayor Allan Thompson and Peel Region Medical Officer of Health Dr. Lawrence Loh to provide an update on the COVID-19 situation in Peel as well as the need for more vaccines.
With growing numbers in the Peel Region, Brown and Thompson talked about the need to designate the entire region as a hotspot to allow for more people to get vaccinated sooner.
“I’ve been working urgently with (Mayor Thompson) on [highlighting] the urgency of vaccinating our essential workplaces,” said Brown. “I would note that there are so many commonalities and similarities between Caledon and Brampton. Our factory settings bleed into each other, you look at Amazon plants in Caledon and Brampton, some of the people who work at the factories in Caledon come from Brampton and we’ve been working together to advocate for Peel Region.”
