As Brampton’s municipal election on October 26 approaches, Mayor Patrick Brown visited Fresh Win Foodmart today, meeting with Chinese business owners and employees to hear firsthand about their business operations and community concerns. The visit highlighted the strong relationship between the municipal government and Brampton’s Chinese community.

Since becoming Mayor in 2018, Patrick Brown has actively championed Brampton’s growth and development. Working alongside City Council and other levels of government, he has helped advance several major initiatives, including the development of Brampton’s second hospital, Peel Memorial Hospital; the construction of the new Peel Regional Police 23 Division facility; the establishment of Toronto Metropolitan University’s (TMU) School of Medicine, which officially opened in 2025; and efforts to extend the Hazel McCallion Light Rail Transit (LRT) line from Mississauga into Downtown Brampton.

These major initiatives, spanning healthcare, public safety, education, and transportation, are laying a strong foundation for Brampton’s long-term growth and prosperity.

Mayor Brown has also consistently demonstrated his commitment to multiculturalism and the Chinese community. Since 2019, the City of Brampton has worked closely with the Brampton Chinese Business Association (BCBA) to host annual Lunar New Year celebrations at City Hall, bringing Chinese traditions into the heart of civic life and demonstrating respect and appreciation for Chinese culture.

Today’s visit to Fresh Win Foodmart was more than a friendly community gathering. It reflected the meaningful connection between local government and Chinese-owned businesses, as well as the shared commitment of residents from diverse cultural backgrounds to building a stronger and more inclusive Brampton.

A prosperous city is built not only through ambitious infrastructure projects, but also through respect for every community, care for every family, and a lasting commitment to future generations.

Let the voices of the Chinese community be heard, and let every vote contribute to building Brampton’s future!
