Proposed Motion:


Moved by Regional Councillor Vicente


Whereas Brampton is a green city with more than 9,000 acres of parkland and residents can enjoy more than 850 parks, many recreational amenities, open spaces, paths and trails; and


Whereas maintaining these spaces clean of litter requires the efforts of an entire community and the support of its local government, conservation authorities, community groups, schools, neighbourhood associations, small businesses, corporations and more; and


Whereas the City of Brampton has an existing community clean-up initiative which engages groups and individual volunteers; and


Whereas many community groups have organized clean-ups across the city such as BGC Peel, Bramalea SNAP, Fletchers Creek SNAP, County Court SNAP, TRCA, CVCA, Peel Climate Council along with many others; and


Whereas a citizen-led group called People Against Littering (P.A.L.'s), has inspired hundreds of dedicated volunteers to spend time and pick up over three million pieces of litter from its parks and greenspaces across the city; and 


Whereas P.A.L.'s and other community groups have received support from small businesses and corporations in their efforts; and


Whereas P.A.L.’s., is led by the leadership of Bill Godfrey who has a dream of making Brampton a litter-free city, and having a litter-free city is an ideal that Brampton should embrace and develop a plan to a scale across the city, including providing financial and organizational support, to make the dream of a litter-free city become a reality;


Therefore be it resolved that Staff work with P.A.L.’s together with other organizations including community groups, small businesses and corporations, who have organized clean-ups across the city, to design a city-wide program that will inspire and leverage the power of people to make Brampton Canada’s first litter-free city and report back to Council by Q4 of this year.
