There is a lot to like about Brampton, Ontario. It’s
close to multiple post-secondary schools, it’s one of the largest cities in
Ontario, more than 70 different languages are spoken in the city and there is
over 400 acres of parkland. What’s even more impressive about Brampton is it
considered one the safest cities!
In 2007, the International Sake Community by the World
Health Organization designated Brampton as one of the safest cities in North
America and the first Greater Toronto Area city to earn the designation! The
Flower City earned the designation for a few reasons, such as strong, long-term
programs that cover all ages and genders.
In 2012, Brampton was recognized globally once more as a safe city by
the World Health Organization... The coolest part about that is only 274 communities
made the list and Brampton was one of seven Canadian communities on the list! According
to a 2012 Brampton Guardian article, more than 300 safety programs are functioning
in the Flower City. These programs teach
local residents how to protect themselves.
In addition, each year, a few local Brampton residents become the recipients
of the annual Brampton Safe City Awards. Congrats to the 2014 winners! Well
deserved!
