Announcement

The Region of Peel 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 work on the system or conduct tests.

On Monday, June 9^th, 2025. From 9:30am to 11:30am. Please expect a brief water outage and loss of water pressure while we work in your area.  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 test shutdown

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.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – June 4, 2025. As June marks Seniors Month across Ontario, Peel Region is proud to acknowledge the many contributions of the seniors living in Peel and reinforce its commitment to providing person-centred services that support the well-being and dignity of its rapidly growing senior population.

Peel is experiencing a significant demographic shift. In 2021, 15 per cent of Peel residents were 65 years and older, totalling approximately 212,625 individuals, representing a 2 per cent increase from 2016. By 2041, this figure is projected to rise to 20 per cent of the population, reflecting the fastest growing age group in the region. This growth underscores the need for responsive and person-centred services that meet the needs of older adults.

 

To ensure we can continue to support our seniors today and into the future, Peel offers a variety of programs and services designed to enhance the quality of life for seniors:

Peel Long Term Care Centres: Peel Region operates 5 municipally owned, non-profit Long Term Care Centres that provide compassionate, loving, and respectful care to individuals and their caregivers. The centres have adopted the Butterfly Approach, which creates a warm, engaging environment that fosters meaningful connections, emotion-based care, and improved quality of life. To support this care, Peel Long Term Care takes proactive steps to ensure residents remain safe and healthy.

 

Seniors Health and Wellness Village (SHWV) at Peel Manor: This innovative facility combines a 177-bed long-term care centre called Peel Manor, which includes a Transitional Behavioural Support Unit, with a comprehensive service hub offering Adult Day Services, an eight-bed overnight Respite Care Centre, an Integrated Care Centre, a social enterprise operated café and shop, and more.  The campus includes plans for a future seniors rental building with 198 affordable rental units for seniors, currently in construction. The SHWV aims to be the heart of a vibrant, thriving neighbourhood that enhances the quality of life and supports the well-being of those who live and work in the Village and the surrounding community.

 

Adult Day Services: Peel Region operates five Adult Day Services (ADS), which provide seniors with structured, supervised, and engaging activities that support physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health. Peel Region also offers Virtual ADS, so older adults can take part in physical exercise, social and trivia programs or even music therapy online from the comfort of their own homes. ADS also provides caregivers with education sessions, navigation support, and social work counselling to help support them in their caregiving role.

 

Overnight Respite Care: This service provides caregivers with scheduled breaks for attending to personal needs with the peace of mind that their loved ones are under the care of trained and compassionate staff.

 

Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program: This program provides low-income seniors, 65 years and older, with access to essential dental care, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent them from maintaining oral health.

 

Peel Regional Paramedic Services Community Paramedicine (CP) Program: The CP Program is a healthcare model where paramedics expand their traditional emergency response roles to provide more comprehensive, preventive, and follow-up care within the community. Peel Region community paramedics aim to reduce 911 calls and emergency room visits by providing in-home care and assessments to help clients understand and manage their health.

 

Housing and Social Support: Peel Region programs: provide assistance with financial aid, housing, and homelessness. For example, Mayfield Seniors Apartments is affordable seniors housing in Caledon for adults 65 years or older. A new seniors rental building is currently under construction in Brampton, which will bring 198 affordable rental units for seniors once complete.

 

Peel Living Wellness Workshops: Peel Living serves over 4,000 seniors across 28 sites in Mississauga and Brampton. The wellness workshops are an opportunity for seniors to receive expert guidance surrounding nutrition and movement. Workshop participants benefit from group exercise and nutrition strategies that support healthy aging, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life.

 

TransHelp: Peel Region assists seniors and individuals with disabilities by providing them with door-to-door transportation. With our TransHelp fleet now at 65 buses, we continue to provide safe and reliable transportation for our elderly and at-risk population. Ridership continues to increase, as TransHelp delivered over 68,000 rides in March 2025, nearly an all-time high.

 

Planning Ahead

In response to the growing senior population, Peel Region has introduced the Seniors Services Strategic Plan 2024–2029. This plan focuses on advancing health equity, promoting mental well-being, and integrating health systems to deliver person-centred care. Initiatives include enhancing dementia care expertise among paramedics, adopting emotion-based care in Adult Day Services, and providing dental care at the Seniors Health and Wellness Village at Peel Manor. As demands for seniors’ services increase, Peel Region is committed to partnerships with all levels of government and will continue to advocate for increased funding and support to ensure that all seniors have access to the care and services they need to thrive in our community.

Join Us in Celebrating Seniors Month

Throughout June, Peel Region invites residents to participate in various events and activities across the region that honour the contributions of older adults. These initiatives aim to raise awareness about the importance of supporting seniors and fostering a connected and caring community.

Exposure guidance

Peel Public Health directly contacts people who were at exposure sites if possible. PPH advises anyone who was at these sites or thinks they have been exposed to measles to do the following:

• Anyone who is pregnant, has a weakened immune system, or has an infant under 1 years old, should contact their local public health unit right away to ask about the possibility of preventive treatment.
• Anyone experiencing measles symptoms (see below) should contact their health care provider, or if not available, their local public health unit as soon as possible to get advice. Do not attend work or school. Before going to see your health care provider, inform them you may have been in contact with someone who has measles.
• Check your immunization record to confirm you and your family members are up to date with measles vaccinations (MMR or MMRV). If you are unsure, check with your health care provider. Two doses are generally recommended for anyone born in or after 1970. In general, those born before 1970 are considered protected against measles.
