Whereas as during the Covid-19 pandemic, new innovative practices were established for providing healthcare for residents experiencing homelessness, delivered by Homeless Health Peel with temporary/short term funding;
Whereas Brampton and Peel Region at large are in need for medical stabilization and nursing care for seniors and medically fragile individuals that are experiencing homelessness;
Whereas the lack of access to a primary health provider for individuals experiencing homelessness leads to avoidable hospitalization, costing $5,067-$5,604 a day which is significantly higher compared to a cost of occupancy and the medical stabilization for low income seniors and medically fragile individuals at $250 per day under the Homeless Health Peel model;
Whereas the positive health outcomes for individuals that sought health care and nursing care at the Nelson Street Drop In, Covid Isolation Centres and HHP shelter outreach resulted in but were not limited to:
• fewer loitering complaints from businesses;
• lower frequency of police interactions;
• better access to healthcare and longer term health outcomes;
• lower re-admissions to hospital;
• and cost effective continuity of care;
Therefore be it resolved that the City of Brampton advocate to the Region of Peel and the Provincial Government, that the innovative best practices demonstrated by Homeless Health Peel be maintained as an ongoing solution to help address chronic homelessness faced particularly by seniors and medically fragile individuals; and
That the City of Brampton ask the Region of Peel and the Ministry of Health to financially sustain these innovative best practices and make Homeless Health Peel a recognized Health Service Provider with the Ministry of Health.

CW516-2021
That the delegation from MP Sonia Sidhu, Brampton South, to the Committee of Council Meeting of November 17, 2021, re: Update on National Child Care Strategy and Implications for Brampton, be received; and
Whereas, the City of Brampton is one of Canada’s youngest and fastest-growing cities;
Whereas, without access to affordable, inclusive, and high-quality child care, too many parents, especially women, face barriers to full participation in the workforce;
Whereas, single parents deserve equal access to employment opportunities without the financial pressures associated with high costs of childcare; single parents are most adversely impacted by the high cost of childcare. According to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) report in March 2020, Brampton is amongst the highest childcare costs in Ontario. The average rates for infants in childcare is $1,259, toddlers, $1,025 and preschool $955. Compared to Quebec, which is $179 per month regardless of which childcare subgrouping. Additionally, for single parents, approximately 36% of household income allocation is for childcare compared to 4% in Quebec. For families, especially single parents this is a socioeconomic barrier which adds additional financial stress to the household;
Whereas, studies show that for every dollar invested in early childhood education, the broader economy would receive between $1.50 and $2.80 positive financial impacts that benefits all Canadians;
Whereas, the Federal government committed to investing in a gender equity and inclusive recovery and working towards tackling gender inequities and systemic discrimination in the labour market through the establishment of a Canada-wide early learning and child care system and distinctions-based, culturally appropriate child care for Indigenous children;
Whereas, the Federal government reached agreements with the provinces of British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Yukon, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Quebec that will support an average of $10-a-day child care;
Whereas, the 2021 Federal Budget 2021, outlined new investments of up to $30 billion over five (5) years to deliver a high-quality, affordable, flexible, and inclusive early learning and child care system across the country; and
Whereas, the 2021 Ontario Budget recognized the challenges associated with high costs of childcare faced by Ontario families, while indicating that the Province looks forward to working with the Federal government to improve child care options for parents and to deliver results for the province’s families and to have a positive financial impact on the economy post COVID-19 pandemic;
Therefore, be it resolved:
That the City of Brampton calls on the Provincial and the Federal governments to engage in a meaningful discussion and to reach an agreement that supports an average of $10-a-day childcare. Such an agreement would provide equitable and quality childcare to all the residents of Brampton regardless of their socioeconomic status;
That Members of City Council demonstrate our support for a Federal-Province agreement to implement a $10 per day childcare system for the residents of the City of Brampton, and the Province of Ontario;
That a letter is sent from the Members of Brampton City Council in support of a Federal-Provincial agreement to the Federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, and the Ontario Minister of Education, with a request that a finalized agreement be reached at or before December 31, 2021, with an implementation date of January 1, 2022; and
