Help Shape the Future of Vehicle Headlight Safety
As part of the City’s ongoing work to improve road safety, including our current campaign focused on proper vehicle headlight use, the Councillor would like to share a survey from Transport Canada.
The federal government is seeking feedback from Canadians on their experiences with vehicle headlight glare and the impact of new lighting technologies on nighttime visibility.
Transport Canada’s public consultation, open until April 20, 2026, invites residents aged 16 and older to share their experiences, opinions, and concerns about headlight glare. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and will help inform future safety standards and potential updates to vehicle lighting regulations.
On Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22, planned construction is taking place on Lakeshore West, as part of GO Expansion, with work continuing at Long Branch GO and on the Burloak Drive underpass to support faster and more frequent service. Crews are also doing necessary state of good repair work to keep infrastructure that supports service on Lakeshore West safe and reliable, including work at the Etobicoke Creek bridge and Bronte Creek.
Some late-night service adjustments will also be in effect on Friday, March 20. GO bus replacements will stop at West Harbour, Aldershot, Burlington, Appleby, Bronte, Oakville, Clarkson, and Port Credit GO stations.
As a part of the Lakeview Village Project temporary road closures along the roadway will be required to complete watermain and sanitary connections.

At the March 3 Transit Advisory Committee meeting, MiWay presented the 2025 Report to the Community.
The report answers the fundamental question: How did we make transit better for our community in 2025?
MiWay’s work in 2025 marked a significant shift from vision‑setting to practical, meaningful action. Throughout the year, MiWay strengthened day‑to‑day service, responded directly to community feedback, and enhanced both customer and employee experiences. These efforts delivered tangible results, including a 54% reduction in overcrowding on the busiest routes, upgrades to 155 landing pads, the installation of 70 new shelters, and achieving 99.4% accessibility across all bus stops. It brings to light the challenges we continue to have with capacity and customer satisfaction with reliability and communication.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – March 12, 2026. Peel Public Health (PPH) will continue working with families and school boards to ensure students meet the school attendance requirements of Ontario’s Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA).
“The Immunization of School Pupils Act exists to protect children from serious, vaccine preventable diseases that can spread quickly in school settings,” said Dr. Hetal Patel, Associate Medical Officer of Health, Peel Region. “We know tracking and reporting vaccination records can feel overwhelming, especially for families juggling priorities. That’s why we’re working closely with families and school boards to help students catch up as quickly as possible, so their learning isn’t disrupted and they are still protected from serious diseases.”
The next rounds of suspension orders are scheduled to go out to Peel students throughout March and April. As of the week of March 9, 15,861 students are slated for potential suspension. The exact number varies by week and is expected to decrease as PPH continues to work quickly with families to receive updated vaccination information. Medical Officers of Health have the operational discretion to make decisions about ISPA enforcement. Suspension is a last resort and is used only when the required documentation is not received by the deadline.
How Peel Public Health is working with families and schools:
Things parents can do right now
Check if you have submitted all vaccine records to Peel Public Health at peelregion.ca/reportvaccines. If information is missing, you can enter and upload records through the website. Vaccines required for school include protection against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella, and meningococcal disease.
If your child is 16 years or older, they will need to call PPH themselves to access their account. Because of privacy legislation, information about their account cannot be provided to parents without the child’s consent.
If your child already has the vaccines, report them as soon as you receive a letter from Peel Public Health. In some cases, records may appear incomplete even when a student isn’t missing vaccines; this happens when doses have not yet been reported to public health.
You can report at peelregion.ca/reportvaccines. An instructional video on the website can help those who need it.
To report, you will need:
Families are responsible for reporting their child’s vaccination records to public health. Doctors do not report vaccinations.
It can take a few business days for submitted records to be processed so parents are encouraged to catch up on any missing vaccines and report them as soon as possible.
If you don’t have an Ontario Health Card, call Peel Public Health at 9057997700 or 18889197800 Monday–Friday, during regular business hours. Translation support is available.
If your child is missing vaccine doses, book an appointment with your healthcare provider or at a Peel Public Health clinic.
The importance of ISPA and routine immunization
The latest data from Public Health Ontario’s Immunization Data Tool shows that Peel’s immunization coverage continues to recover from COVID-19 related disruptions, though gaps remain.
“Catching up on routine vaccinations keeps our children and community healthy,” said Nazia Peer, Director of Immunization Services, Peel Region. “Vaccination is one of the most effective public health measures available, protecting not only each student but classmates, teachers, and vulnerable community members.”
