• C200-2023
  Moved by Regional Councillor Toor

  Whereas the City of Brampton has over 600 registered Driving School Instructors

  Whereas the Driving Instruction industry forms a critical part of the City of Brampton’s economy.

  Whereas instruction on city property is currently prohibited.

  Whereas many Driving Instructors in Brampton have expressed concern over the lack of sufficient resources within the City to successfully carry out their roles

  Whereas the parking lots of recreation centres are not utilized fully during the daytime hours and could provide a useful area for instructors to teach parking techniques to student drivers

  Whereas many Driving Instructors have mentioned experiencing police and enforcement intervention when providing instruction on City property

  Whereas driving instructors currently obtain their licences via the Enforcement and By-law Services office and there may be an opportunity to permit instruction on City of Brampton properties

  Whereas we as the City of Brampton should be supporting the Driving Instruction industry

  Therefore be it resolved that the City of Brampton’s Licensing, Legal, Risk, Enforcement and Recreation departments be directed to work together to bring forth a report to Council to initiate “Driving Instruction Zones” on City Property.

  Further be it resolved that the results of this report be brought forth to a future City Council meeting to see if a Pilot Project could be implemented throughout the City of Brampton in support of the industry.
