A proposed $124 million Anaerobic Digestion Facility Project in Brampton that will help Peel Region meet its waste diversion targets, as well as producing fertilizer and renewable natural gas, will be on Regional Council’s docket this July for final approval.
Mississauga Ward 6 Councillor Ron Starr, who chairs the Public Works Committee, has some reservations about the cost of the project as well as the processing costs, however, and asked that the matter be raised one last time at the next committee session on June 10.
“This is a big decision, and we want the best result possible,” he said at Thursday’s Regional Council meeting. “It’s a lot of money.”

Published Thursday, April 22, 2021 2:14PM EDT Last Updated Thursday, April 22, 2021 3:46PM EDT Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his Quebec counterpart are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to introduce “stricter” measures at land and air border crossings to ensure that all non-essential travel is “curtailed” amid a devastating third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an open letter sent to Trudeau on Thursday, Ford and Quebec Premier Francois Legault formally requested that the federal government further reduce incoming international flights while also taking action to close loopholes at the Canada-U.S. land border that they say have allowed some travellers to sidestep quarantine requirements.

Caledon will lose two voices from the Regional Council table following the 2022 Municipal Election.
The decision was made on December 17 for Brampton to gain two seats at the Peel Regional Council table at the expense of Caledon.
What began as a walk on motion at the November 26 Regional Council meeting is now an approved bylaw.
Caledon Council has consistently supported Brampton gaining more representatives at Regional Council since 2015 but was not prepared to lose two of their own in the process.
Regional Council is made up of 24 members of the three municipalities of Caledon, Brampton and Mississauga: Mississauga with 12 members, Brampton at seven and Caledon at five.
