The development of Peel’s 2026 proposed Budget was anchored to our Strategic Plan and the community priorities recommended for consideration prior to the budget.
The proposed 2026 Budget includes investments of $7.4 billion, making critical investments for our growing community to support population-driven service demand, build homes faster, develop deeply affordable housing, enhance community safety and well-being, keep Peel Region’s infrastructure assets in good repair, and manage the impacts of funding shortfalls. Additionally, there are enhanced investments in paramedic services, seniors services, and public health, and many other necessary programs with a high social impact that Peel supports and delivers.

On June 10, Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced the results of Project Pelican, marking the largest drug seizure in our service’s history – with nearly $50 million worth of cocaine seized. In collaboration with national and international partners, PRP dismantled a transnational organized criminal network trafficking illicit drugs into the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
In June 2024, Peel Regional Police began investigating a cocaine smuggling operation using U.S.-Canada commercial trucking routes. By November, working with partners including the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Border Enforcement Task Force in Detroit, multiple individuals, trucking companies, and storage sites linked to the operation were identified.
Over the course of the investigation, the following was seized:
- 479 kilograms of bricked cocaine, with an estimated street value of $47.9M
- Two illegal loaded semi-automatic handguns
As of June 6, nine individuals were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation, totalling 35 charges related to firearm and drug offences. The accused were held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.
The successful completion of Project Pelican was made possible through funding provided by the Ontario Government, Ministry of the Solicitor General in which the Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario supported this investigation.
