Peel Region also Celebrates First Graduates of Caregiving Essentials Course
BRAMPTON, ON (June 23, 2025) – Peel Region is proud to announce two major milestones in its commitment to supporting family and informal caregivers of seniors: the successful graduation of the first cohort of the Caregiving Essentials course, and a $24,925 grant from the Ontario government’s 2025-26 Seniors Community Grant Program to expand the Social Prescribing for Seniors’ Caregivers initiative, pending final Transfer Payment Agreement.
The Ontario government funding will help scale up Peel Region’s social prescribing program across its five Adult Day Services (ADS) sites. This innovative project takes a preventative, person-centred approach to improving the health and wellbeing of caregivers in Peel Region, many of whom are older adults themselves. Through “social prescriptions,” caregivers are connected to community-based programs, cultural events, recreational activities, and wellness services tailored to their individual priorities and to promote social engagement, mental well-being, and resilience.
Social prescriptions may include outdoor experiences in conservation areas, art and cultural events, yoga and mindfulness sessions, and other wellness-focused activities offered in partnership with local organizations, such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, SOHAM Yoga, Brampton Library, Peel Art Gallery Museum + Archives, and the Canadian Opera Company. These activities are offered at no cost to caregivers, removing financial barriers to participation.
Caregiving course developed in partnership with McMaster University Continuing Education
In tandem with this expansion of the social prescribing program, Peel Region also celebrated the first graduating class of the Caregiving Essentials course — an innovative, in-person training program developed in partnership with McMaster University Continuing Education to empower caregivers in their caregiving role and help those they care for age in place.
The graduation ceremony, held at the new Seniors Health and Wellness Village at Peel Manor, honoured the dedication and compassion of 12 caregivers who stepped forward to better support seniors living with dementia and other complex care needs. Each graduate received a framed certificate and was formally recognized for successfully completing the five-week course, earning a McMaster Continuing Education microcredential.
The free 10-hour in-person course offered caregivers the opportunity to:
- Learn to thrive while supporting someone with dementia or complex health conditions
- Build supportive relationships and share lived experiences
- Practice self-care, compassion, and wellness strategies
- Develop practical communication techniques
- Navigate the healthcare system with confidence
- Build a personalized caregiver toolbox
Together, these initiatives align with the Seniors Services Strategic Plan’s focus on delivering person-centred, integrated care and also align with the province’s commitment to addressing the social determinants of health and enhancing caregiver resilience.
Please be advised that stop #0878 on WB Dundas Street at Neilco Court will be out of service effective 8:00am Wednesday June 25th until end of day Monday June 30th for continuing watermain construction works.
Patrons will be directed to the previous stop #1192 at Jarrow Avenue which is approximately 175 metres east.
Stop #0878 is serviced by Route 1W and 1CW with continued accessible bus service at Stop #1192.
Residents should take precautions to stay safe and healthy during hot weather
BRAMPTON, Ont. – June 20, 2025. The first heat warning of the season for Peel region is forecast for June 22, 2025. Peel Public Health wants to remind residents how to stay safe during the warm weather months and avoid heat-related illnesses, including heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Peel’s Medical Officer of Health issues heat warnings following notification from Environment and Climate Change Canada that the following thresholds have been reached:
- Daytime maximum temperatures are expected to reach 31 C or higher and overnight temperatures are 20 C or higher
OR
- Humidex values are expected to reach 40 C or higher.
If a heat warning lasts 3 or more days, an extended heat warning will be issued.
During high-temperature conditions, residents should take measures to stay cool, hydrated, and pay attention to how they and those around them are feeling. Check in on family and neighbours who may be at higher risk
Be aware of the following signs and symptoms of heat illness:
- High body temperature
- Skin rash
- Muscle cramps
- Dizziness or fainting
- Nausea or vomiting
- Heavy sweating
- Headache
- Rapid breathing and heartbeat
- Extreme thirst
- Dark urine and decreased urination
- Confusion and lack of coordination
If residents experience any of these symptoms during extreme heat, they should immediately move to a cooler place and drink water.
The following are signs and symptoms of heat stroke. Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
- High body temperature
- Lack of coordination and confusion
- Dizziness or fainting
- No sweating, but very red, hot skin
Those at higher risk of experiencing heat-related illness include older adults, infants and young children, individuals with chronic illness and people who work outdoors.
Keeping cool in extreme heat
There are places across the region where residents can go to keep cool. See your local municipality’s website for information on how to respond to heat, including locations of cooling centres, splash pads, pools, libraries and community centres.
Peel Region’s website has information on the status of public beaches in Peel.
Stay cool when it’s hot outside with these tips:
- Drink water regularly, even before you’re thirsty
- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat while outdoors
- Avoid direct sun exposure

The Peel Region Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Thursday June 26th, 2025. From 9:00am to 5:00pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
Property owner/manager responsibilities during a water interruption
As a property owner/manager, it is your responsibility to:
- Ensure maintenance, mechanical or plumbing staff are on site during the water interruption, as it may affect internal systems that rely on water such as boilers, fire suppression, and alarms.
- Notify the fire alarm company if the interruption could affect an alarm system.
- Have a fire watch completed during the water interruption, as the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function when the water supply is shut off.
After the water interruption
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor, and finishing on the top floor). You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note
After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking the water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
- 905-791-7800 extension 3226 (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. – Monday to Friday)
- 905-791-7800 extension 4409 (after hours or statutory holidays)
If you have any questions, please contact us.
