The Downtown Brampton Flood Protection Project represents a collaborative investment between all three orders of government. Partnerships with the Governments of Canada, the Government of Ontario, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the City of Brampton have made it possible to deliver this generational infrastructure project. This includes a contribution of over $38.8 million from the Government of Canada through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund and a nearly $50 million investment from the Government of Ontario’s Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program. Together, these partners are advancing Brampton’s leadership in sustainable city-building and climate resilience.

Early construction for Riverwalk’s Downtown Brampton Flood Protection Project will begin in the coming weeks with site preparation. Full construction of the flood protection project is expected to begin in early 2026 and continue through spring 2028, marking completion of Phase One and beginning of Phase Two, which will continue beyond 2030.

Downtown Brampton Revitalization

Downtown Brampton is undergoing a major transformation with several bold projects underway. Riverwalk is a central pillar in Brampton’s long-term downtown revitalization strategy. As this work progresses, several complementary projects are also underway to create a safer, more connected and vibrant downtown. They include the redevelopment of Ken Whillans and Garden Squares, Main and Queen Streets Streetscaping and the demolition of City-Owned properties 30-60 Main Street North and Interim Strategy for Expansion of Garden Square.

The City is investing in vibrant, inclusive public spaces that reflect its identity and meet the needs of a growing, diverse community. As downtown Brampton evolves, it is rapidly becoming a thriving ecosystem for innovation and technology, positioning the city to compete on a global stage and helping to drive economic growth locally, provincially and nationally.

Open during construction: Support local downtown businesses

The City is working closely with the Downtown Brampton Business Improvement Area (BIA) and local businesses to minimize disruption and maintain access throughout construction. Downtown businesses remain open throughout construction, and residents and visitors are encouraged to continue shopping, dining and attending events in the area.

Supporting local businesses helps sustain jobs, strengthens the local economy and keeps Brampton’s downtown vibrant and resilient through this period of transformation. To discover upcoming events and explore the unique shopping and dining experiences in downtown Brampton, visit the
